Weekend in Taguig

A self-guided walk through old Taguig's historic core, past the 16th-century Santa Ana Church (destroyed in WWII, rebuilt), the old municipal building, and a few Spanish-era houses

Tip: Start at the church (which is free to enter) and walk east along M.L. Quezon Street. The houses are private but you can see the facades from the pavement. Do this early Sunday morning when traffic is light.

A long pedestrian street lined with shops, restaurants, and public art installations. It's a pleasant walk with benches and green strips. Free to stroll.

Tip: Go on a weekday morning to avoid crowds. The street is quieter and you can see the sculptures up close without jostling.

A science museum with interactive exhibits on natural history, physics, and technology. Usually paid, but they offer free admission on select days each month—check their social media.

Tip: The free days are packed; arrive at least 30 minutes before opening to queue. Exhibits are best for ages 6+ and kids love the dinosaur section.

An open-air mall designed to mimic Venice, complete with indoor canals and gondola rides. You can walk the bridge and watch the gondolas for free; the ride costs extra.

Tip: Visit in the late afternoon for cooler weather and golden-hour photos. The light on the 'canal' is best then.

A small, landscaped park with a pond and walking paths. It's part of the Arca South development but fully public. Good for a quick break or picnic.

Tip: There are food trucks on weekends but bring your own snacks on weekdays as the area is quiet. The pond attracts birds early in the morning.
