The four-hour journey begins at 8 a.m. at Plaza Moriones, Fort Santiago, before moving to the Ayuntamiento de Manila. There, visitors can explore the Marble Hall and Sala de Sesiones, which served as the court’s home from 1901 until 1945. The tour eventually concludes at the current Supreme Court building in Padre Faura, Ermita, where the institution was relocated following the Second World War.

Casual attire is allowed, but slippers and shorts are prohibited. Keep in mind that flash photography, as well as photo shoots for any purpose other than personal souvenir, is now allowed.
Per the SC, the walking tour will be held once every month until December. The slots until July are now full, but more dates will be announced soon.
