Intramuros
 

Description

Unique in Asia, this was a European-style medieval fortified city that functioned as the seat of government from 1571 to 1898. The massive walls stretch some 4.5 kilometers, enclosing a 64-hectare area once occupied by palaces, churches, monasteries, schools and wealthy residences ('Intramuros' means 'inside the walls'). Sadly, the whole city was razed to the ground by bombings conducted by American forces when they recaptured Manila from the Japanese in 1945. Today most of the walls, gates and bulwarks have been restored, affording visitors a glimpse into the past.

Students' Discounts for E-chariot in Intramuros
By Ma.Corazon, 7/19/12
I like the innovative & modern way of sight-seing in Intramuros via the e-chariots it only shows that no matter how old the historical place is it can adapt to modern society applicable & can be enjoyed by any age.. I just strongly recommend that discounts should be given to students who want and wish to experience travelling in Intramuros via the e-chariots.

Intramuros Electric Chariots Tour Launched
By Dais, 4/11/12
For the first time in Philippine history, an Electric Chariots tour of Intramuros has been launched by White Knight tours at Hotel Intramuros fronting San Agustin Chruch. The Electric Chariots are 2 wheel equipments with automatic balancing electronic gadget that moves forward if your body leans forward and stops or move backward as you lean backwards. The guided tours using electric chariots amplify the most recent tourism slogan of “It’s more fun in the Philippines” for indeed, the exhalation as well. White Knight offers 30 minutes and 1 hour guided tours of Intramuros with price ranging from Php500 for 30minutes and Php1000 for 1 hour. Unlike riding the horse driver Chariots tours which provide passive involvements for passengers and tourist, the Electric Chariots reinvigorates the user with its interactive role of balancing and inspires a sense of adrenaline rush. It’s an experience in a life time that one should never miss! For further info, White Knight Tours contact details are telephone: +6325 5252381 or +632 5266181 Sincerely Yours, Daisy Santos White Knight Hotel Intramuros

The disgrace of the Rizal Museum
By Spoogis, 9/28/08
In Fort Santiago - there is a musuem of Rizal - it is nicely done but then one is askd to sign a visitor's book whih also includes a list of donations patently over written by the monkey who stays there - showing that other visitors have given like 2000 php donations Donations for what ? I would like to know - one already pai to enter the fort - there is no information about what these donations are for? For the money who writes in later that I lft a donation of php 2000? Utter disgrace - same with the furniture museum - an entrance charge written on a sign by hand asking for php 10 - for who and for what ? again the management have no control over the staff Then there is a new sports complex being built next to the walls in concrete - could no be more inappropriate next to the early spanish walls Whole place is a disgrace and Rizal's role in the independence movement isnt just exagerated - it is down right wrong

Great historical fun
By Ryan, 7/5/08
Right in the heart of Manila's ocean front area. most of the old fort is open to expore unguided. They have a very nice shrine to Rizal. Its wonderful to walk the walls of the fort, and look out and imagine what Manila was like back in the colonial days. Still have some old cannons over looking the Pasig river. The churchs and statues are impressive also. Horse drawn carriges are avalible. Good place for souvineer shopping and picture taking. Some old spanish buildings still remain and also of course if your hungry they do have fast food in the old city.

Intramuros Is Worth Seeing
By kingratt82, 1/29/08
If you visit Intramuros, be sure to visit Fort Santiago and see the Rizal Museum there. Also be sure to see the very impressive San Augustin Cathedral, which is one of the oldest churches in the country, and which used to be a monastery. This is well worth the 75 pesos that it costs to get in to the church. The Manila Cathedral, also well worth a look, is free admission, and frequently holding Mass.
