Walk through its imposing gate and explore its chambers, dungeons, and preserved ruins, including the American Barracks, cannons, and bullet remnants that reflect Intramuros’ military past.
Visit the White Cross and the exact execution site of Dr. Jose Rizal, a deeply moving location that highlights the sacrifices made during the fight for independence. Nearby, the Rizal Shrine provides insight into the national hero’s final days, while the iMake History LEGO Museum adds a creative and modern perspective to historical storytelling.

Pass by notable landmarks such as Barbara’s Restaurant, White Knight Hotel, and Galleria de los Presidentes, each adding depth to Intramuros’ cultural narrative. Walk along historic streets to Puerta Real, Puerta del Parian, and Baluarte de Dilao, once vital defensive structures guarding the city.
