CHIJMES (Free access, optional dining)

#tesaruonbudget CHIJMES is a beautifully restored former convent and school turned into a lifestyle complex with restaurants, bars, and green courtyards. The gothic architecture is stunning, and entry is free—great for photos or peaceful walks. It’s centrally located and especially magical when lit up at night. You don’t need to dine there to enjoy its charm, making it an ideal romantic or cultural stop for budget travelers. Just soak in the vibes and take your time.
