Three, two, one — liftoff! From the wonders of our solar system to the alien worlds of far-flung galaxies, National Museum Planetarium is a must-see for anyone fascinated by space exploration.

National Museum Planetarium is a great place kick off your day in Ermita. This space-themed attraction comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Allow some time for other attractions like SM Mall of Asia, Rizal Park, and Smart Araneta Coliseum to really experience what's on offer in the area.

8.4/10 Very Good! (56 reviews)

The property is ocean-facing with a stunning view of Manila Bay. The unit itself was beautiful, but what truly made our stay unforgettable was Mel, the local host. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for me and my group, and her kindness really stood out. The only small challenge was parking—there’s just one space for all the units on a first-come, first-served basis, which wasn’t clearly noted. Even then, Mel stepped in right away and went the extra mile to help my coworkers secure street parking. Thanks to her, everything worked out smoothly!
