Getting to Harbor Square in CCP Complex, Pasay City


Looking for a place to dine out on a Friday night? Come to Harbor Square within the CCP Complex in Pasay City. It's a nice and convenient place to hang out with your family or friends. It was my first time to be there on a Friday night and I enjoyed the ambiance.


It's a place just beside the Manila Bay. So if you want to scape from the crowded streets in the metropolis, then this is the place to be. Here you can enjoy the view of the Manila Bay by night with all the colorful lights on the background.  


The Manila Yacht Club is just near the place so you'll see different sizes of yacht floating in the bay like paper boats. At the end of the square is the terminal for ferries going to Bataan and for Manila cruises.   


It's a compound of fast food chains, restaurants, bars, cafes, etc. Live bands and music coming from different sides of the square make the night alive and happy. Worry not as there are budget-friendly restos and fast food chains. Yes, Jollibee is here! There are also choices of restos and bars for the well-scrubbed.         


There are also mini bazaars. So if you want to buy gift items, then you can find some here --  from clothes to toys to gadgets and other Divisoria items. Just watch out for the prices! Naturally, prices are a little bit high, but of course you can always haggle. 


So how to get to the Harbor Square? It's actually accessible. It's just along the famous Roxas Boulevard. It's within the CCP Complex just beside the Cultural Center of the Philippines. It's easy to get here on a private vehicle or taxi ride via Roxas Blvd. Just tell the taxi driver to drop you off Harbor Square just beside CCP. 

Commuting via LRT-1 or Taft Avenue? Just a walk away from the Vito Cruz LRT Station, you can find the terminal of jeepneys (small and orange in color) going to CCP (Just ask where the terminal is). Ride a jeep and tell the driver to drop you off right in front of the Harbor Square. Fare is only P8.00.

Or you can ride an FX/Van that passes through Roxas Blvd e.g. Lawton-Sucat route or Lawton-Cavite, route. Tell the driver to drop you off the CCP. From the corner, walk towards the CCP and to the right is the Harbor Square.
