At first, I was skeptical about the idea of visiting this place for the first time, as Pasig River had long been synonymous with being dirty and smelly.

But with constant clean-up efforts over the years, it has transformed into a beautiful spot to relax and enjoy the sunset for free.

A futuristic tied-arch bridge that connects Binondo and Intramuros, the two major tourist spots in Manila.

I suggest visiting before sunset and wait for the lights during night time.

While waiting for the lights to turn on, you might want to buy food and drinks.

There are stalls for coffee, fruit shakes, food on sticks, burgers, and handicrafts ranging from P10 to P150. Very cheap!

The bathrooms here are clean so you can indulge on drinks.

I notice boats passing by the river every few minutes.

Witness a blend of culture and modern landscapes within Metro Manila

Your kids will enjoy interacting and taking photos with their favorite cartoon mascots, while adults will be entertained as they stroll past buskers.
