Visiting
What to see, eat and drink in Santa Cruz
OpenStreetMap maps 76 restaurants, 36 cafes and 3 bars and pubs counted in Santa Cruz, and 8 named sights: museums and galleries, parks, monuments, viewpoints and other attractions. They are counted the same way as the places to stay: each place goes to the area whose centre is nearest, within that area's reach. This rule has no boundaries, so places near the edge can fall in a neighbouring area's count.
| What | Mapped | Rank in Metro Manila |
|---|---|---|
| Restaurants | 76 | 3 of 15 |
| Cafes | 36 | 4 of 15 |
| Bars, pubs and beer gardens | 3 | 8 of 15 |
| Museums and galleries | 2 | 5 of 15 |
| Named parks | 0 | |
| Monuments, viewpoints and other sights | 6 | 7 of 15 |
Rank 1 has the most among the 15 districts of Metro Manila; areas with equal counts share a rank. A zero means none is mapped in OpenStreetMap, not that there are none: coverage varies from place to place.

Sights are counted the same way. Main sights: the 10 sights in these areas covered by the most Wikipedia language editions. Stations: railway and metro stations in Wikidata. All distances are straight-line from the area's centre point; on foot or by road they are longer.
