Quick ride by bicycle from Port Area to Makati City

This ride takes you from Manila’s bustling Port Area straight into the heart of Makati City—Metro Manila’s business and lifestyle hotspot! Starting at the Port, where cargo ships and ferries shape the city’s skyline, you’ll wind your way through a combo of quiet backroads (mostly paved, with concrete and asphalt under your wheels). Expect a mix of cityscapes—shipping warehouses fading into lively neighborhoods, and eventually, the impressive high-rises of Makati.

The distance is a bit over 16 km, with just enough ascent to keep things interesting but nothing too steep (max elevation’s only about 35 meters). Traffic will ease up as you escape the busier roads, but keep an eye out for the occasional rough patch where paving is missing.

Rolling into Makati, you’ll pass by cafés, gleaming office towers, and maybe even catch a peek at the city’s public art. If you feel like celebrating at the end of your ride, there are plenty of restaurants and parks to explore. All in all, it’s a solid city ride with lots of urban charm!
