Angeles City

Angeles City is a bustling and thriving city in central Luzon, about 75 km north of Manila, and was once the capital of the Philippine Republic, during the Filipino-American war. While the city has a long and interesting history, the main attractions of the city are now shopping and nightlife. Highlights include the Clark Freeport and Special Economic Zone and the Balibago entertainment district.

The Clark Freeport Zone contains a mix of leisure centres, shopping malls, industrial parks, and the Clark International Airport. Balibago is perhaps most famous for its gaudy, neon-lit streets, but there is slightly more to it than that. If you’re like outdoor pursuits, you’ll find the beautiful Mount Arayat National Park just east of the city and Mount Pinatubo – an active volcano – to the west.
