Getting around Manila is fairly simple due to the variety of transportation options that are accessible. Manila is a tentacular metropolis that covers an area of 1,475 km2 including its suburbs.

The citizens of the city speak Tagalog, but most are also fluent in English, which is the language of instruction in the public schools.
