Rizal Park, also known as Luneta plays a pivotal part in Philippine history. A historical landmark that witnessed the execution of notable patriots e.g. GOMBURZA (Gomez, Burgos and Zamora) and of course Dr. Jose Rizal to which the park was named.
It offers a serene and a relaxing place to unwind in the metro, Rizal Park will always be included in the top ten parks in the country. Inside the park you'll also find some places of interests like the Chinese Garden, The Orchidarium, Artists Haven, Heroes Biography, Statue of Lapu Lapu and of course the famous Rizal Monument, guarded by two Marines 24/7. Rizal Monument is also known as Kilometer Zero (the zero mark or the starting point of every kilometer post in Luzon). There are available Kalesa (horse drawn chariots) to give a tour inside the park.
How to Get There:
1.) From LRT Buendia ride a jeepney bound to Quiapo (w/ Luneta) on the signboard
2.) Tell the driver to drop you off in in Luneta
