Manila’s Rizal Park is a 148-acre (60-hectare) urban park home to the Rizal Monument, a shrine that contains the remains of 19th-century Filipino national hero, Jose Rizal. There’s also a lagoon, fountains, ornamental gardens, an orchidarium, lawns, walking paths, outdoor chess sets, and some of Manila’s top museums.

Rizal Park covers a huge area, so there’s a lot to see. Must-see attractions include a monument to Filipino national hero Jose Rizal and a large 3D relief map of the Philippines. There’s also the National Museum of Natural History, the National Museum of Fine Arts, and the National Museum of Anthropology.

Early mornings and evenings are good times to stroll through Manila’s Rizal Park as they are cooler. Weekends are especially atmospheric as the park is a popular hangout spot among locals. To visit the museums—good places to break from the heat—come during opening hours, typically 9am to 6pm, Tuesday–Sunday.

Manila’s Rizal Park is moderately accessible to wheelchair users and other travelers with disabilities or mobility issues. The large park is generally flat, so you don’t have to navigate hills. Some paths are easy enough to navigate but others are paved with cobblestones. Ramps help with access to the walls, for good city views.
