Rome follows Central European Time (UTC+1) in roughly November to March and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. Manila stays on Philippine Time (UTC+8) all year. This means Manila is 7 hours ahead of Rome in winter, and 6 hours ahead in summer.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, length of stay, and purpose of travel. We recommend checking with the Philippine embassy or consulate, or your local authorities, before booking. It is also important to ensure your passport has sufficient validity and any required supporting documents.

We suggest checking current transport information on arrival or with your accommodation.
