I studied in Manila but this is the first time I went to this place. Not bad actually. If you love peace and quiet and a little curious about Philippines' national hero, wear your most comfortable clothes and take peek. You can have nice nostalgic photos here like most of the pre-nuptial wedding photos are taken,

Thoroughly enjoyed the 30mibs or so we spent here. The gardens and buildings are beautiful and the facilities are great. The sea breeze off the lookout was beautiful on a hot, steamy morning. The cost was 125php for mother and 11yo child. Well worth exploring the history of this remarkable site.

This was an interesting place to visit to start in Manila. It gives a good perspective Rizal and the history related to him.

Visiting historical places like Fort Santiago is nice and good. My friends and I get to relive the life of our national hero Dr. Jose Rizal as he is detained in Fort Santiago before he was executed. And there's also a museum for Dr. Jose Rizal showcasing his life.

Spent an hour exploring the old fort and the museum dedicated to Jose Rizal. You definitely need more than an hour here! Rich with history and passion this fort takes you back in time. Beautiful view of the skyline (which includes the Manila Cathedral). A must see! Only 75 PHP per adult as well! Have cash on you-most food places...

This is a good historical sight but not amazing. The ruins are good and you can walk around them and some good views of the city over the dirty river. A good souvenir shop with items for all budgets and a cheap cafe. The best part for me was the shaded areas away from the heat as it was just...

The Fort is well worth a visit. In the museum, I learned a lot about Philippines history and Jose Rizal. The grounds are quite nice, and fairly well maintained. There is an old chapel to visit as well. And there are views onto the river.

We visited Fort Santiago along with other attractions at the Intramurous. They were refurbishing the place when we went. Overall an OK experience.
