When it comes to booking the travel experience of a lifetime, it is best to plan your itinerary according to what you are passionate about. If you love nature, you are likely to have very different priorities from people who enjoy spending time in big cities. To help make the decision easier for you, here is an overview of the typical things fancied by nature lovers and urban explorers.
Holidays for City Slickers
Cities are rich in culture and history. The urban maze offers visitors the opportunity to explore skyscrapers, amusement parks and museums during the day, while soaking up the city’s nightlife after the sun sets. Cities are also great places to indulge in shopping, take in a show at the theatre and sample delicious local cuisine. If you are spending time in the capital city of Manila, you can discover up to 16 different districts, each with its own characteristics. There are endless attractions to explore within and beyond the city, such as the Malacañáng Palace, Plaza San Luis, Luneta Park and the Mabini Shrine. Marvel at the ancient churches or enjoy retail bliss in the big shopping malls to ever grace the Philippine archipelago.
Cebu City is a charming metropolis south of the country. This is one of the most popular destinations for city slickers, as it boasts attractions, such as the mighty Basilica of Santo Niño, the Fort San Pedro and Magellan's Cross. Davao is one of the largest cities in the world, so you can expect plenty from this vibrant metropolis. The San Pedro Cathedral is the city’s largest religious building and can be found conveniently close to the City Hall. The Dabawenyo museum also offers an interesting insight into local history and culture.
The Philippines is quickly becoming one of the world’s most popular relocation sites among expats. Finding a home in this urban jungle is now easier, with a wide range of great deals at Zipmatch,a Philippine real estate marketplace that features property listings from all over the country.
Holidays for Nature Lovers
People who enjoy soaking up the sun on the beach, trekking through jungles and taking part in water sports, such as scuba diving and kayaking, are sure to prefer exploring Mother Nature’s best. The Philippines boasts a large number of tropical islands that will appease nature lovers. The island of Boracay is considered to be an unparalleled paradise and offers miles of shoreline, as well as caves to explore. People who want the opportunity to dive with butandings or whale could head to the sleepy town of Donsol. The island of Palawan is also famous for its colorful coral reefs and sunken ships, making it the perfect place to go scuba diving or snorkeling. This enchanting island also comes complete with a wide range of land attractions to explore, such as Tubbataha Reef National Marine Park, Palawan Butterfly Garden and Calauit wildlife sanctuary.
The destinations you choose will largely depend on your preferences and choice of travel. While sticking to what you love is the initial recommendation, be open to new possibilities when traveling.
