Best Places to Visit in Manila in May

May is hot and humid in Manila, but the city still has plenty to offer. The month is highlighted by the Flores de Mayo and Santacruzan festivals — colorful street processions celebrating the finding of the Holy Cross. Opt for air-conditioned museums, shopping malls, and indoor entertainment during the day. Early mornings and late evenings along the Baywalk offer cooler alternatives. It's also the tail end of school break, so family-friendly venues remain lively.
