Quick ride by bicycle from Niugan to Port Area

Starting from bustling Niugan, just north of Manila, this 18.3 km bike route takes you south into the very heart of the city, wrapping up at the historic Port Area. The terrain is mostly flat, with gentle climbs and descents—nothing too challenging—so it’s suitable for most riders. About two-thirds of your journey is on paved and concrete roads, although keep your eyes out for some rougher patches.

You’ll mostly cruise along quiet residential streets and smaller access roads, which will help you avoid the city’s busier, noisier thoroughfares. Along the way, you’ll catch glimpses of everyday life in Metro Manila, from neighborhood sari-sari stores to morning markets and urban parks. The last leg leads you straight to the Port Area, Manila’s gateway to the sea and a vital hub for the country’s shipping industry. It’s a great way to experience the city’s changing landscapes—from suburban quiet to the gritty, bustling energy of Manila’s docks. Just remember to keep your wits about you in traffic and enjoy the ride!
