Moving to Quezon City

Quezon is served by an international airport, and the different sections that make up the largest city in the Philippines are well connected by city rail and sky train, or buses and taxis throughout Quezon’s many main roads.

Working in Quezon City

The Cubao area of the city is where all the economic action happens, but it’s also great for markets, shopping, and festivities - being the center of many big city festivals, and with an amusement park to boot. If you’re an expatriate family, Quezon City has a number of good schools, universities and colleges to choose from, and there are nearby cities (such as Venezuela City and Manila) that are equally as prosperous and interesting for entrepreneurs and students. Like in most big cities, there is a great wealth of things to do, investments to make, and earning opportunities. To eat, relax and party like a local after work, head to the Tomas Morato area of the city to dine, drink, and dance.
