(SPOT.ph) Holy Week is one of the rare times of the year when the Metro slows down and is at its most peaceful. While most would take the long holiday as a chance to visit relatives in the province, travel abroad, or go on religious trips, those of us left in the city often have no choice but to watch re-runs on the TV or catch up on shows on streaming. But if staying in all week isn't your cup of tea, you may want to consider heading over to Intramuros for some history and heritage or just some good ol' fashion outdoor time. Wondering what attractions are open? Here's your guide to Intramuros this Holy Week.
