Visiting Makati on a Budget
Visiting Makati on a Budget
It isn't easy to be thrifty when you're in Makati City, the Philippines' business and commercial center. What with the many high-end stores that can be found in malls such as Greenbelt and Glorietta or the numerous classy yet expensive hotels peppering the place, getting around the city on a tight budget can be a challenge for the first-time visitor. But if you know where to look, whether it's cheaper shopping venues or budget-friendly accommodations that you seek, being frugal in Makati will come easy.
For a more affordable shopping experience, for example, there's the SM Makati Mall and Makati Cinema Square, which offer items with prices that are less hurtful on the pocket compared to its more upscale counterparts. Another option worth checking out, especially if you're a foodie, is the Salcedo Weekend Market, which features vendors selling fresh fruit, vegetables, pastries, grilled fish, and meat products at reasonable prices.
