Roam Manila: City Guide

LPP inc

About this app

Roam Manila is the only Manila travel guide built by someone who actually lives here. No sponsored listings. No generic recommendations. No ads. Just 29 hand-picked places across all 16 cities and 1 municipality of Metro Manila, 38 detailed survival guides, 17 cultural snapshots, and a smart Food Finder that asks you where, when, and what you're feeling before recommending where to go.

Everything works fully offline. Download once, use anywhere. No login, no account, no tracking — just pure, unfiltered Manila knowledge.

Discover hidden speakeasies in Makati, find the only ATMs in the country with zero foreign withdrawal fees (HSBC, two branches only), learn which street food stalls are safe, navigate the LRT and MRT like a local, and get text-based directions that actually work — because we don't use maps.

The Food Finder helps you decide where to eat by asking four simple questions: where are you, when are you going, what's your budget, and what's the vibe. No scrolling through hundreds of options. Just the right place at the right time.

The Guide section covers everything from banking hacks (Wise, Revolut, N26) and visa extensions to red light districts, dating etiquette, karaoke culture, the art of haggling, and how to survive Manila traffic. Every guide has pro tips from actual locals.

The Vault lets you save your favorite places with smart category breakdowns, and you can share any place with friends via any messaging app.

If you're visiting Manila, moving here, or just curious about the city, Roam Manila is the only guide you need. Built by LPP
