And because of this, without stopping, buildings after buildings are perched on the city\u2019s soil.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The vertical cityscape might strike others with a feeling of being enclosed, but the Bay City sees to it that there is sufficient space for breathing by offering a series of temporary halt to the rush\u2014hideouts if you may. From a big patch of nature where life thrives and spaces where art and culture are celebrated to peculiar restaurants, bars, and entertainment facilities where having a good time is certain, Bay City has it all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But most importantly\u2014it has the bayside. One thing that makes it a city like no other is its gift of Manila Bay, where the sun beautifully bows its thanks every day. The way it slowly bathes the boundless sky with its presence before completely going out of sight just naturally makes people stop in their tracks\u2014a reason to slow down and admire the beautiful things in life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And so just like the sun that rises and sets without missing a single day, let the Bay City be your reminder not to let the day pass without setting your heart in quiet gratefulness, be it through enjoying good food or by simply taking in the beauty of nature in the very city that continuously provides an array of life\u2019s luxuries.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Getting to and around Bay City<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The most common mode of public transport to get to Bay City is bus. From the north, SM MOA-bound buses run along EDSA; from the south, there are buses bound for LRT Buendia, where you can take a multicab to the SM MOA complex.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To get to the CCP area, from where you can access attractions like Star City and Upside Down Museum, take the LRT Line 1 to Vito Cruz Station and ride an orange multicab or jeepney bound for CCP. There are also e-tricycles that can take you around SM Mall of Asia and CCP Complex with fares starting at P20.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prominent casino resorts offer free shuttle service from SM MOA:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Okada Manila<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pick-up point: In front of Pet Express on Pacific Drive<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bus operations: 24\/7, with 15 to 30-min. intervals<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Solaire Resort and Casino<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pick-up point: Across Pet Express on Pacific Drive<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bus operations: 12:30 pm to 1:30 am daily, with 1-hr. intervals<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">City of Dreams Manila<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pick-up point: In front of Starbucks on Pacific Drive<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bus operations: 11:30 am to 1 am, with 30-min. intervals<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Map<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1734\" src=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/feature\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/10\/Bay-City-Map_Philippine-Primer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"357\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/feature\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/10\/Bay-City-Map_Philippine-Primer.jpg 357w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/feature\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/10\/Bay-City-Map_Philippine-Primer-134x300.jpg 134w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 357px) 100vw, 357px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Map images owned by Philippine Primer may not be used and\/or modified without permission.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Encompassing the stretch of Manila Bay where the most prominent establishments stand tall, such as Okada Manila, SM Mall of Asia, and Cultural Center of the Philippines, Bay City is teeming with people and traffic whatever time of the day.
