GETTING AROUND
Depending on where you are going, cheap flights are also an option for travel between cities. Travellers can also consider hiring private cars or motorcycles to get around.
GETTING THERE
The main gateway into the Philippines is either via the capital city of Manila, arriving at Ninoy Aquino International Airport; or via Cebu, arriving at Mactan-Cebu International Airport. These two transport hubs serve international flights from all over the region and the world. An extensive network of domestic flights brings travellers to every corner of this vast archipelago
IN SPITE OF its predominantly Christian population, the Philippines is home to a wealth of religious sites scattered across the country.
Alongside East Timor, the Philippines is one of the only predominantly Christian nations in Southeast Asia, with an overwhelming majority of its population identifying with the faith or several of its denominations. Nevertheless, the Philippines is a melting pot of religions. Amongst the country's various minority religions, Islam is often considered to be the largest one, whilst smaller ones include indigenous folk religions unique to the Philippines. The coexistence of the multitude of religions in the Philippines has yielded an impressive spectrum of holy sites and places of worship in the country, all of which offer fascinating histories.
