QUIAPO MANILA of the Philippines Walking Tour | Explore Quiapo's Famous CHURCH, STREETS & MARKETS


The Philippines capital city Manila is divided into several districts, including Quiapo, which was referred to as the Old Downtown of Manila, and was named after the once abundant water cabbage in the area called "Kiyapo" by early Indian merchants, specifically the Tamils.

Quiapo is a small district, so you can surely tour around the place in less than a day.
You'll also encounter several vendors around the streets of Quiapo selling fork or traditional medicines, including amulets and talismans that come in various forms and are believed to have magical powers.
Though Quiapo has a few downsides, such as having over-crowded streets and terrible traffic jams, the place is still a must see and experience when in Manila. Quiapo's fascinating cultural landmarks, Muslim town, churches, and markets will absolutely fascinate you.
