Attractions
Malabon is full of history and culture, thus making it one of the cities in Metro Manila with truly rich emerging destinations.
The Malabon City Tourism Office launched the Malabon Tricycle Tours in December 2014. Malabon Tricycle Tours aims to show the cultural wonders of Malabon City — using tricycles as a means of transportation. The tricycle tour offers three packages: the Heritage Tour, the Food Trip Special, and the Food and Heritage Tour, all boasting the rich culture and history of the city.
The tours take visitors to eight heritage sites including the newly renovated 400-year-old San Bartolome Church as well as to notable heritage houses like the Raymundo House and Ibaviosa House, and also offer visitors a unique gastronomic experience through visits to the city's home-based eateries.
