Luneta Park Travel Guide
Hi there! 👋 I'm Benj and welcome to another Philippines Travel Guide where I share DIY and budget-friendly guides on how to travel to all 82 provinces of the Philippines!
In this guide, we will be exploring Luneta Park in Metro Manila.
If you have any questions about this trip, feel free to message me on Facebook. 😍
Summary
As someone from the province, I used to think that Luneta Park only featured the Rizal Monument and the 150-foot-tall Independence Flagpole, so I would usually skip going inside.
But during a recent visit to the National Museum of Natural History, I decided to pass by and discovered the hidden Chinese Garden and the Musical Dancing Fountain before sunset.
If you're interested in learning more about the museum, here's a separate guide:
How To Get There?
The fastest way is to book a car via the Grab app or motorcycle hailing apps such as MoveIt, Angkas, or JoyRide.
Things to Do in Luneta Park
🇵🇭 Rizal Monument and the 150-Foot Independence Flagpole
Professional photographers are stationed around the park if you want high-quality photos
🪴 Chinese Garden
I found a new quiet spot where I can blow off steam when I'm stressed
⛲ Musical Dancing Fountain
There's a fountain and fire show in the afternoon with a beautiful sunset background
🧺 Picnic
The are food stalls beside the fountain where you can buy snacks while you enjoy the fountain show.
🐎 Horse Carriage Ride
There are horse carriages near Jollibee (brick-themed to match the vibe of the area), located between Luneta Park and the National Museum, if you're interested in a Luneta tour but hate walking.
Thanks for reaching this far!
