LIST: Cafés with relaxing ambience worth visiting in Bulacan
Central Luzon's Bulacan is known as the "Northern Gateway from Manila." Due to its rich historical heritage, the province has become an ideal tourist destination that houses popular historical sites, nostalgic old houses and churches, idyllic ecological attractions, religious monuments, bustling festivals, and a wide selection of native crafts and local delicacies.
It is also home to the Philippine Arena in Santa Maria. This 55,000-seater venue is the world's largest indoor arena, making it an ideal concert venue that can meet the high volume of Filipino fans. The problem with the Philippine Arena is it's not the most commuter-friendly destination. Meaning if you want to make the most of your money, you'll need to plan for more than just accommodations.
So if you're attending a concert there or just found yourself wanting to explore Bulacan, why not go for a quick detour to any of the province's famed food establishments?
