The Resorts World Manila, the Casino Filipino and the Pagcor Casino are sure bets if you're feeling lucky.

On a fine day, grab a bite to eat and find a shady nook at one of the area's leafy urban parks, such as the Baywalk and Rizal Park. Rajah Sulayman Park and Paco Park are two more pleasant spots to while away the afternoon and finally read that neglected book of yours.

If you can safely get to a high vantage point, the view over Hinulugang Taktak and Bantakay Falls is impressive.

Pasig River is an idyllic place to spot wildlife and skim a few stones.

Switch off your phone and give yourself a break from the modern world at La Mesa Nature Reserve and La Mesa Eco Park. Nature enthusiasts will also enjoy Marikina River Park and Malaguinoan Island.

Set aside a day or two to explore some of the favored cultural spaces nearby. Savor the contemplative atmosphere as you admire the displays at the Alliance Francaise and the Ayala Museum. The National Museum of the Philippines and the Bahay Tsinoy are also well worth a visit.

The specimens at the National Museum of the Filipino People are more than just fun to look at. They also play an important role in helping us understand the natural world.

Make your way through the peaceful hallways and view the exhibits on display at the Casa Manila Museum.

To find out more about the area's rich and fascinating past, be sure to visit at least one of its many historic structures and monuments.

Observe the water flowing underneath Quezon Bridge, an impressive example of civil engineering.

Military history buffs should enjoy touring Baluarte de San Diego and Baluarte de San Andres, two examples of the area's various fortifications and defenses. Fort Santiago and Reducto De San Pedro are two more places that have played an integral role in defending Manila from enemy attacks.

Stately homes often represent the time's very highest standards in architecture and design, and Manila's are no exception. Admire the furnishings and relax in the courtyards and gardens at Malacanang Palace, the Coconut Palace and Presidential Museum and Library.

The spiritual side of the area can be found at San Agustin Church and San Sebastian Church. Manila Cathedral and Santa Cruz Church are two more interesting sacred sites.

Before you pack your bags and make your way home, make sure you check out a few of the area's lesser-known attractions.
