There are people soliciting customers to take a carriage to visit the Royal City at the entrance of the scenic spot. If you don’t want to take it, don’t talk to him, otherwise he will keep following you to sell! (The above are all in one area, grab a taxi and directly locate the Spanish Royal City to get off.

⚠️The airport has four terminals that are not connected to each other. Take a free shuttle bus or grab a taxi to change terminals. It is recommended to reserve 2 hours for transfers in different terminals because there will be traffic jams. After entering the country, you can withdraw pesos from the ATM on the first floor (UnionPay fee is 25 yuan) or you can exchange RMB/USD at the manual exchange shop next door. A day Trip in Manila costs about 2000p (grab taxis are settled on the app and no cash is needed).

📶Mobile Internet Card: There are Internet cards for sale at the airport, which are quite cheap, only a few dozen RMB. I just turned on international roaming and didn't buy a card because it was too troublesome for a one-day transfer.

🚕Be sure to grab a taxi when leaving the airport, it is guaranteed and safer! It is much more expensive to take a taxi directly.

🚗Transportation: Traffic in Manila is relatively congested, it is recommended to take a Grab taxi, which is safe, convenient and cheap!
