'''Ermita''' is in Manila.
Get in
By train
Ermita is served by three railway stations, all on the LRT-1 (Yellow) Line. From the southernmost station, moving north towards the river:
'''Pedro Gil''' (on Taft Avenue). Near the Philippine General Hospital.
'''United Nations''' (on Taft Avenue). Near Rizal Park, the Supreme Court, and the National Bureau of Investigation compound.
'''Central Terminal''' (on Arroceros Street). Near Mehan Garden, the Manila Metropolitan Theatre, the Manila City Hall, and the eastern walls of Intramuros.
By taxi
Taxis from Manila International Airport will cost you a poverty-inducing 550PHP if you insist on taking an 'official' airport taxi. Non-'official', metered taxis are also legitimate and can be had just by walking away from the airport a bit. As with the ride from the domestic airport, barring severe traffic, a trip to Ermita should not cost more than 200PHP
