In this video, we’ll explore the Gateway Mall 2, the dazzling new heartbeat of Araneta City in Cubao, Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines, where I got swept up in a whirlwind of modern luxury, culinary delights, and cultural gems that left me buzzing with awe. As I stepped into this 190,000-square-meter, eight-level marvel, officially opened on September 1, 2023, by the Araneta Group, I felt the pulse of a P5-billion expansion that’s elevated Cubao’s game to a whole new level. As one of Manila tourist attractions, tourist in Philippines will love this.

Starting at the Coliseum Plaza, I was greeted by the sleek facade of this mall, seamlessly connected to the iconic Smart Araneta Coliseum and the original Gateway Mall, which sparked the area’s renaissance back in 2004. The latest scoop had me thrilled: on February 12, 2025, the grand opening of World Kitchens brought a global culinary feast with celebrity chefs and dignitaries like Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte in attendance, as reported by Inquirer.net, showcasing dishes from Japanese sushi to Catalan tapas. I wandered past the Quantum Skyview on the Upper Ground B, where the Philippines’ largest LED ceiling dazzled with vibrant displays during the August 2025 AHOF FanCon, a first-of-its-kind event hyped on X by @AranetaCity. Fun fact: the mall’s Sagrada Familia Church, a rooftop sanctuary opened in 2023, draws inspiration from the mitre headgear of Catholic priests, its all-white design and skyward curves echoing New York’s Oculus, making it a serene stop amid the shopping frenzy.

Trivia tidbit: Gateway Mall 2’s Cineplex 18, expanded in December 2023 with eight new cinemas featuring Dolby Atmos and La-Z-Boy seats, became the country’s largest, surpassing SM Megamall’s 14 screens, as noted on Wikipedia. I couldn’t resist the Wolfgang’s Steakhouse, which launched its fifth Philippine branch here in October 2023, or the Shake Shack at Coliseum Plaza, the first “stadium shack” in Asia, perfect for post-concert bites. Recent Tripadvisor reviews raved about the open-air fifth-floor Sensory Gardens for their stunning views but warned of crowded elevators during peak hours—pro tip: take the escalators for a smoother ride. The mall’s connectivity to MRT-3 and LRT-2 stations, plus the 2024-opened Ibis Styles Hotel, makes it a transit-oriented dream. Open Sunday to Thursday from 10 AM to 9 PM and Friday to Saturday until 10 PM, Gateway Mall 2 is a Cubao must-visit that’s redefining urban cool.
