Tips for your Malacañang Museum tour
Book ahead or walk-in. While the museum welcomes walk-ins, groups larger than 10 are encouraged to book a guided tour via the social secretary's office to ensure you get a dedicated guide who can tell the specific backstories of the artifacts.
Dress properly. Remember that you are entering the Malacañang Palace complex. While the museum is casual-friendly, smart casual is recommended, and security protocols require a valid government ID for entry.
Visit Malacañang grounds. After viewing the presidential styles, walk through the surrounding grounds. The recent efforts to make the Palace complex "greener" make it a perfect urban escape for a May afternoon.
Take note that while photography is restricted in certain sensitive galleries, the exterior of Teus Mansion and the designated heritage zones are highly Instagrammable.
