North, South towards ?

Get to the NLEX/SLEX on ramps and if you want a jeepney (minibus) to get a bit out of the city.

There is a marina at the southern end of the baywalk, but they probably won't let you enter. The port is north of the baywalk.

Sleep

The local tourist area is malate. Get to remedio circle (close to MRT/LRT stop pedro gil). There you have lots of hostels. A very cheap quiet and clean one is the following: At remedios circle ask for malate pension (well known, very nice but not so cheap (around 8$)). Right at the pension there is a small back street - right before the pension if you come from remedio c. Take this street and 30m on the right side there are two small nice pensions for 5$.
