The 3 Makati City Spots for Christmas Sightseeing Trips

If you've decided to spend the Christmas holidays without leaving Metro Manila, one of your best options would be Guijo Suites in Makati, Philippines. The hotel's restaurant is sure to provide you and your company a sumptuous breakfast that will let you explore the city's main commercial and financial district for the rest of the day. Now,  since it's already the holiday season, expect that some establishments might be closed for the holidays. It doesn't mean, however, that you have less reasons to go around and take in the sights. Remember that the holidays present you with an opportunity to see the city up close without being bothered by the heavy traffic. Try to see iconic high-rise buildings, tree-lined streets, and convenient pedestrian walkways at your own time.

To make the most of your stay, head to these places to enjoy the festive sights and sounds that mark the Christmas season in the country's financial capital.

1. Ayala Avenue
Take advantage of the short breather the season has granted to one of the city's busiest roads by visiting Ayala Avenue and admiring the light sculptures that pepper the sidewalk. Best time to visit would be a little after sunset so you can see how the lights play out.

2. Ayala Triangle
Swing by this lush garden and view the spectacular light show that plays to the tune of well-known Christmas carols. The park is right beside the avenue of the same name. The place is surrounded by dining options so drop by in time for dinner.

3. Glorietta 4 Park
Hit 2 birds with one stone by doing your Christmas shopping at the mall and taking commemorative pictures beside the giant tree at the park. Like Ayala Triangle, the mall also lets you enjoy proximity to restaurants, bars, cafes, and snack shops.

If you chance to drop by Makati on a weekday, sometime before or after December 25, you can also see the many museums and art galleries in the city. Choices close your hotel in Makati, Manila include:

  • View artistic collaborations on display at Alliance Française de Manille in Bel-Air II.
  • Visit the Ayala Museum at Makati Avenue corner De la Rosa Street, Greenbelt Park.
  • See the paintings and sculptures at Galleria Nicolas, located at 3/F Art Space, Glorietta 4, Ayala Center.
  • And for big artworks, visit Gallery Big at 2/F LRI Design Plaza, 210 N. Garcia St., Bel-Air.

Book an accommodation today at Guijo Suites Makati and bring yourself closer to a stress-free Christmas holiday in the city.
