Pasig is one of Metro Manila's key eastern cities, anchored by the Ortigas Center business district that it shares with neighbouring Mandaluyong and Quezon City. It blends a historic riverside town centre with glass-tower corporate headquarters, major shopping malls and a modern skyline shaped by decades of commercial growth.

Getting therePasig has no airport of its own, so travellers arrive via Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) and continue by taxi, ride-hailing or rail. The city is linked to the rest of Metro Manila by MRT-3 (Ortigas and Shaw Boulevard stations along EDSA) and by LRT Line 2's Santolan station, with jeepneys and tricycles covering the final stretch into central districts.
How long to stayAllow ~1 to 2 days to cover Ortigas Center's malls, offices and dining scene along with the older riverside town proper, or longer if using Pasig as a base for exploring the wider Metro Manila area.
