The Philippines is home to over 7,000 islands. Sitting in the sea off the coast of South-East Asia the archipelago can feel detached from the rest of the region whilst still retaining some of its defining characteristics. For a first-time visitor heading beyond Manila and not just looking for the beaches, we would suggest heading to Cebu where the diving can be spectacular, and where Cebu City has a lively nightlife and the food culture is recently coming up to speed – we can recommend Lahug for a wide variety of local delicacies and street food.

Stef's Tips
1
Music lovers: visit the Alegre Guitar Factory to see some of the best guitars in the world being made from Madagascan ebony.
2
Take a bumpy tour on a Jeepney – a modified jeep left over after WW2 – to see how the locals travel.
3
In Manila wander through the old colonial city of Intramuros to explore the walls and see the influences of the Chinese, Dutch, British, American and Japanese.
