Quick ride by bicycle from Manila to Makati City

Ready for a breezy urban ride? This 18.4-km route takes you from the vibrant heart of Manila down to the bustling business hub of Makati City—two of Metro Manila’s most iconic areas. You’ll start near Manila’s historic Intramuros district, where colonial-era walls and cathedrals remind you of the city’s Spanish roots. The path uses mostly quiet roads (yay, less traffic stress!), with stretches on both concrete and asphalt, rolling gently over nearly 100 meters of ascent.

As you pedal south, notice the change in scenery: Manila’s classic facades give way to high-rises and lively commercial districts as you approach Makati. By the end, you’ll land in the middle of Makati’s cosmopolitan buzz, surrounded by luxe malls, coffee shops, and corporate towers. This is a fun cross-city ride, perfect for taking in the contrasts and energy of Metro Manila. Just watch out for the occasional busier stretch, and soak up the city vibes!
