Which one to choose in Manila
Manila Cathedral vs San Agustin Church
Two churches in Manila. Manila Cathedral has no online ticket listed; San Agustin Church has no online ticket listed. The table and the two notes below put them side by side; the full pages have what to see, the ticket and the timing for each.
Manila, Philippines
Manila Cathedral stands on Plaza Roma inside Intramuros, the old walled Spanish city, and entry is free. Intramuros is best explored on foot, by bicycle, or by the horse-drawn carriages called kalesas, and the cathedral is a natural starting point, a few minutes from Fort Santiago and the church of San Agustin, which is older and holds a museum. Walking tours of Intramuros cover all three along with the city walls and restored colonial houses, and some guides dress in period costume.

Manila, Philippines
San Agustin Church stands on General Luna Street in Intramuros, the historic walled city of Manila, and it is the oldest stone church in the Philippines. Entry to the church for mass is free, while the San Agustin Museum, in the adjoining monastery, charges an admission and gives access to the choir loft, which offers the best view of the church interior. The church is one of the four Baroque Churches of the Philippines listed by UNESCO.
