Walk Manila

Winner, 39th National Book Award for Best Book on Humor, Sports, and Lifestyle

The City of Manila is rich with heritage buildings characterized by their artistic, historical, cultural and age values. From this treasure of heritage sites, Walk Manila identifies 100 historic sites and structures that still stand today in the different districts — Intramuros, Port Area, Ermita, Malate, Paco, Santa Ana, Pandacan, Binondo, San Nicolas, Tondo, Santa Cruz, Quiapo, San Miguel, Sampaloc and Santa Mesa. Prioritized are those recognized and declared by government cultural agencies such as the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, National Museum of the Philippines and the Intramuros Administration. These include National Historical Landmarks, National Shrines, National Monuments, Classified Historic Sites and Structures, National Cultural Treasures and Important Cultural Properties.

Among these are those that have been installed with historical and heritage markers, those deemed as heritage-at-risk, and those that represent the district's unique cultural heritage.

Walk Manila comes with maps and tours developed by the FEU Guides, the University's official tour guides and ushers. The tours of the various districts start in sites nearest to an LRT station with commuters in mind. It is possible to drive to the starting points and find parking nearby.
