Eastern State Penitentiary
1 saveRecommendation by Lemi
Keep an ear out for clanging cell blocks, hurried footsteps, and freaky laughter at Eastern State Penitentiary! The massive Gothic-style prison is infamous for being the first to implement solitary confinement in the country. It was also known for conducting severe torture practices towards its inmates. After its shut-down in 1970, it’s believed that many unrested spirits remained in the premises, unable to find peace from the horrible conditions that led to their deaths. Horror fanatics should time their visits during the Fall season when the jail (now a museum) hosts “Terror Behind the Walls,” America’s largest haunted house!

Intramuros
Without having to drive far, Intramuros allows you to enjoy yourself in a rich history hidden behind huge walls and cobblestone street that have been destroyed, preserved, and rebuilt many times. By visiting Bahay Tsinoy, Casa Manila, or the Distileria Limtuaco Museum, the country's oldest distillery, you may find yourself in the tactile traces of diverse cultures that influenced Intramuros, such as American, Spanish, and Chinese.
