Still wondering where to go for New Year's Eve at the last minute? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Check out some of the most exciting spots in the metro where you can ring in the new year with your loved ones:
1. Rizal Park (Manila)
A perfect family-friendly location for all kinds of occasions, whether it’s Holy Week, Christmas break, or just a normal day when you want to take a stroll. The historic Rizal Park in Manila is a no-brainer. All you need is a picnic blanket, and you can even enjoy the free dancing fountain show!

2. Intramuros (Manila)
Much like Rizal Park, Intramuros offers a historic and culturally rich atmosphere, making it perfect for a New Year’s stroll. At night, this Walled City becomes just as beautiful as it is during the day. You’ll never run out of things to do, with attractions like Fort Santiago, Casa Manila, Baluarte de San Diego, the famous San Agustin Church, and Manila Cathedral.
