Romantic Luneta

While others choose Paris or any other European city to be a city of love, I think they have forgotten how our very own Luneta Park can be equally romantic as well. It is definitely historic and provides a nice place for couples to walk around and enjoy a moment, let's say a Valentine's Date.

Luneta (which is also known as The Rizal Park) is a huge park and many would claim that it is one of the largest parks in Southeast Asia. It is where one can see the Rizal Monument, the marker which commemorates the site where the national hero Jose Rizal was executed in 1896.


At the end of the park is the Quirino Grandstand and the nearby Manila Ocean Park. Of course, Manila Bay is not far away so if lovers would like to enjoy the famous Manila sunset, then they can find their way walking along Roxas Boulevard or settled in a cozy spot.



There are a few things you can do while in Luneta Park besides taking a stroll. You can ride one of those horse-drawn carriages or calesa (which can be quite expensive) or you can just do a romantic picnic under the shade and watch people pass you by.



Sometimes, certain activities are being held in the Luneta like a food fair or a mini-concert. So if you are looking for a cheap way to celebrate a romantic day with a loved one, Luneta may just be the place.
