Here’s How Much It Costs to Visit Intramuros' Historical Sites
It'll only cost P300 in total to visit all four.
(SPOT.ph) Intramuros is more than a tourist spot with ancient walls and cobblestone streets—it's where history comes alive, where the past merges with the present. Every nook and cranny carries a story, so it's no surprise that visitors can easily fill a whole day exploring the historic walled city.
A visit to Intramuros isn’t complete without stepping foot in the cultural sites of Fort Santiago, Casa Manila, Saluarte de San Diego, and Museo de Intramuros. Fortunately for us, it won’t cost much to go back in time. Here's your guide to each one.
