How To Commute To Cirque Du Soleil's VAREKAI

For those of you who would be watching Cirque Du Soleil's world class acrobatic show Varekai which is scheduled to take place from June 22 to July 25, 2011 at Quirino Grandstand in Rizal Park, here's guide on how to commute to the venue from different parts of Metro Manila.

Nearest train station is LRT-1 UN Avenue Station. But still way too far to walk, approximately 1.2 kilometers. If you're riding an LRT-1 train from any station north of Metro Manila, e.g. Roosevelt, Balintawak, Monumento, 5th Avenue, R. Papa, etc., the best way is to get off the train at Carriedo Station.

If you're riding an LRT-2 train from any station east of Metro Manila, e.g. Santolan, Anonas, Araneta Center Cubao, Betty Go Belmonte, etc., get off the train at the last station which is Recto Station.

Next ride is a jeepney with "Pier" sign in front and "Retiro Sta Cruz Pier 15" signs on both sides of the vehicle. Where to ride? Avenida Avenue aka Rizal Avenue. From Recto Station of LRT-2, walk westward along Recto Avenue, or towards the direction of the train from which you alighted. Avenida is the road where LRT-1 passes through. Wait for a jeep with "Retiro Sta Cruz Pier 15" sign along south bound lane of Avenida, the lane in front of Chow King Restaurant.

From Carriedo Station of LRT-1, walk along Avenida northward or towards Monumento, past Bustos Street, a T-intersection to your left, until you get to Ronquillo Street, another T-intersection where public jeepneys bound for Baclaran, Mabini, Vito Cruz, Pedro Gil, Harrison Plaza, and Pier South pass through. Wait for a jeepney with "Retiro Sta Cruz Pier 15 (South)" sign.

Ride this jeepney, pay minimum and ask the driver to drop you off at Manila Hotel which is situated near Quirino Grandstand. It's important to alight from jeepney at Manila Hotel's location because if the driver drop you off at other areas in Luneta, you might walk way too far. Luneta Park is so big and this jeepney passes through the whole stretch of its length from Roxas Boulevard to Taft Avenue. So, don't just say Luneta, instead tell the driver Manila Hotel or Quirino Grandstand.

Walk acrosss Roxas Boulevard or Bonifacio Drive towards Manila Hotel. It's the tall building at the corner of Bonifacio Drive and Katigbak Drive. Walk along Katigbak Drive past Manila Hotel frontage until the road bend to the left and Quirino Grandstand come into view.

If you're riding an LRT-1 train from south, e.g. Baclaran, EDSA, Libertad, Vito Cruz, Quirino, etc., get off the train at Carriedo Station, go down at north exit, the stairs located near to the front of the train. Walk towards Ronquillo Street and ride right there.

From Alabang, Muntinlupa, Sucat, Festival Mall, Metropolis Starmall and other areas near to these vicinities.

Take northbound lane of either Skyway or Osmena Highway aka South Super Highway. Major repair of Buendia-Osmena flyover is on-going so you must avoid that area. My suggestion is to exit Skyway in Magallanes and turn left on EDSA.

Drive all the way to Roxas Boulevard, the road where a flyover passes through. Turn right onto Roxas Boulevard and drive all the way to Rizal Park. You will pass through Roxas Boulevard-Gil Puyat flyover and cross four intersections with traffic lights before you get to Rizal Park. These intersections are Pablo Ocampo, Quirino Avenue, Pedro Gil and UN Avenue. Rizal Park is next to UN Avenue. It is bordered by the next intersection with traffic lights. This intersection is Kalaw, if you turn right, and Katigbak Drive aka South Drive, if you turn left.
