Malabon is one of the cities of Metro Manila, in the northern part of the conurbation, and is low-lying and criss-crossed by rivers and esteros. It is dense and largely residential, with a long history as a fishing and trading settlement.
The old church and a preserved ancestral house in the centre are the main heritage sites, reflecting the town's Spanish-era origins. The city is well known within the Philippines for its food, particularly a rich noodle dish that carries its name, and central Manila's museums and the walled city are a short journey south.
Jeepneys and tricycles are the standard local transport, and traffic across northern Metro Manila is heavy for most of the day. Ride-hailing is widely used, and the low ground floods readily during heavy rain.
The cool, dry months around the turn of the year are the most comfortable. The wet season through the middle of the year brings typhoons and serious flooding in this low-lying part of the metropolis.
