During our pre-Julia days, Don and I go to Fort Santiago if we want an intimate (aka quiet and affordable) date. We buy our food at McDonald’s Intramuros (this
branch closed already) and stay at one of the benches at Fort Santiago . We just talk, read a book or walk
around. We must have been to the Rizal Museum
more than 10 times already!
So when Julia was born, Fort Santiago was one of our favorite go-to places when we want a breath of fresh air and a wide area where Julia can scream with delight and walk safely. Aside from its cultural and historical significance, we like going to Fort Santiago because it is quiet, clean and well maintained.
Here are some of our pictures at Fort Santiago:
Fort Santiago
Intramuros, Manila
Directions: From Makati, España or Bicutan
Entrance Fee: P75.00 for adults and P50.00 for children and students (they must present a valid ID)
Parking: Very limited. There is a vacant lot beside Fort Santiago. Position your car near the parking entrance. They keep the horses (of kalesa owners) at the far end of the lot. I guarantee, you wouldn't like the smell of that area.
