Antipolo Travel Tips

If you want a gorgeous glimpse of the Metro Manila skyline, especially at night, Antipolo is the place to be. The capital city of Rizal province in Luzon, Philippines, is 13 kilometers away from the country's capital. It offers some of the best sights and vibes of an urbanized city set against a sparkling cultural heritage.

Antipolo City is a popular weekend getaway among local travelers. Its most famous attraction is Antipolo Church, a centuries-old Marian shrine frequented by devout Catholics. The church is a pilgrims’ haven and attracts tourists for the assortment of goods available in its surroundings, ranging from rice cakes to roasted cashew nuts and religious ornaments. Antipolo also features museums like Pinto Art Museum, a Santorini-themed building situated on a two-hectare property that showcases local artists. It is also home to Hinulugang Taktak, a 21-meter waterfall, which is an iconic landmark in the city for a long time.

Enjoy the panoramic view of the metro from Antipolo, or better yet, take a side trip to Manila and see all the sights and beautiful tourist spots that will introduce you to the rich Filipino culture and tradition.
