Philippines Travel Guide

Buy an airline ticket to the Philippines to witness the mix of old and new in capital Manila, or for the ingenious rice-terraces of Banaue. An archipelago of 7000 islands, the Philippines means plenty of water sports and sandy beaches. Book flights to the Philippines for diving in peaceful Palawan, surfing on Borocay island and pure relaxation on remote Pagudpud. Highlights of city breaks to the Philippines' capital include catching local culture at the Metropolitan Museum of Manila, and gaudy excess at Coconut Palace. Travel to the Philippines' flower-filled city Bagiuo for cooling walks, and for bird-watching in UNESCO-protected Mount Pulag National Park.

Book flights to the Philippines to dine on local seafood in black bean sauce, or lechon (roast suckling pig). For musical events in the Philippines, a ticket to an open-air concert in the medieval district of Intramuros in Manila is a unique setting. KLM and partners have frequent flights to the Philippines. Book airline tickets for annual highlights such as the ornate costumes of the Sinulog Festival (Jan) in Cebu City. Catch a flight to the Philippines when February and March bloom with the Baguio Flower Festival, and in December for the Intramuros Festival when parades weave around Manila's old town.
