But Makati isn’t all business and there are some fantastic things to do here that will keep the whole family entertained. Renting a serviced apartment or holiday letting in this bustling city gives you access to the best of both worlds.

This city may be modern but there are still many clues to the heritage, history and culture of this vibrant region and it’s inhabitants. The 400 year old Guadalupe church sits on top of a hill, watching over the city below. This wonderful structure has withstood wars and earthquakes, a testament to it’s ancient architecture. From the church you can look down on one of the city’s older, more traditional neighbourhoods as well as the meandering Pasig River.

Ayala Museum boasts a collection of magnificent gold jewellery that is 4000 years old as well as detailing the cultural history of The Philippines and exhibiting some beautiful works of art. Well worth a visit.

The Luz Gallery exhibit’s a combination of ethnic, traditional and contemporary art that compliment each other perfectly. A lovely place to spend a few hours.

A Makati serviced residence or aparthotel will also provide you with access to the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial. The lush foliage and beautiful tended grounds of this cemetery make this a most picturesque place of remembrance. A wonderfully peaceful location.
