The densely-populated capital of the Philippines is an exciting, cosmopolitan mix of various cultural influences. Old Spanish architecture predominates from colonial times and adds an exotic element to a city that is otherwise thoroughly modern. Tourists tend to head for Old Manila, a walled citadel at the centre of the city which is home to a number of surviving structures such as a baroque church from the 16th century and Fort Santiago, which used to guard the bay area against rival powers.

Flying from Baku
Heydar Aliyev International Airport is located just about 20 kilometres away from the centre of Baku, the capital of the country, and is a modern airport that sees up to three million passengers a year. However, it has the capacity to handle twice that number, so passengers flying from Baku with Qatar Airways will find it to be a spacious, comfortable and well-organised airport that focuses on the customer experience from the moment of arrival until take-off.
Transportation and parking
A custom-built highway leads from Baku right to the airport, so travellers arriving by car will find it to be an easy and hassle-free journey.
If you don’t have a hire car then the easiest way to get to the airport, especially if you have a large amount of luggage, is to pre-order a taxi through your hotel concierge or reception. Buses do run to the airport, but they tend to be very crowded. Two parking lots are available, one in front of each of the terminal buildings. There are spaces for up to 1,600 vehicles on both short and long-term parking.
Arriving at the airport
Passengers flying from Baku with Qatar Airways depart from Terminal 1, which is for international flights only. The terminal is modern and well designed, meaning that check-in processes and customs checks are relatively smooth and quick.
Allow approximately an hour and a half to two hours before your flight is due to board, and ensure that all your documentation is correct and in order before you arrive, as security can be tight.
Facilities and amenities
The terminal has Duty Free outlets where you can pick up last-minute gifts, perfume and luxury items. A few food vendors offer snacks-on-the-go and hot beverages, and Wi-Fi is available in some areas of the airport. The interior design of the terminal includes a series of oak-veneer ‘cocoons’, some of which act as small private lounges. There are ATMs and currency exchange facilities, as well as comfortable and very spacious lounge areas.
