Zamboanga accommodation from NZ$26

What to Do in Zamboanga

Nowhere in the Philippines is there more evidence of Spanish influence than here. Zamboanga packages from Wotif allow you visit Fort Pilar, built around the 1630s and named after the patroness of both Spain and Zamboanga. Then check out the exhibits in the National Museum that feature antiques, art and natural flora and fauna.

Speaking of flora, where can you see over 600 species of orchids, hang out in a treehouse and picnic near a bubbling stream? Pasonanca Park, of course. Prefer something more urbanised? Book Zamboanga accommodation near the city centre and check out City Hall, Plaza Pershing and Metropolitan Cathedral of Immaculate Conception.

Hungry? Enjoy some fried chicken, sardines, fresh fruits and vegetables, or Spanish cuisine. And if you’re really brave, why not give balut a try? Then lounge on the pink beaches of the Santa Cruz Islands, watch the looms at Yakan Weaving Center or tee off right on the beach. Experience it all when you book our hotels in Zamboanga.

Getting To & Around Zamboanga

You can touch down right in the city at Zamboanga International Airport (ZAM). If you booked a rental car on Wotif with your flight and hotel, pick it up and start exploring! If not, there are plenty of jeepneys and taxis to get you where you want to go. But your trip doesn’t have to begin and end in one place—why not pay a visit to the capital city? Check out our hotels in Manila and turn your trip into a full Philippine experience with just a few clicks. You’re the master of your travels, and we’re here to help!
