Quezon Bridge: Manila’s Historic Link Across the Pasig
Crossing the Pasig River via Quezon Bridge feels like stepping into a living corridor of Manila’s past and present. The span links Quiapo on the north bank to Ermita on the south, tying together two districts that pulse with entirely different energies. On one side, street vendors, churchgoers, and jeepneys create a rhythm that never quite slows. On the other, museums, parks, and institutional buildings shape a more formal skyline. The bridge sits squarely between these worlds, steady and unassuming, yet central to daily life in the capital.
