Cebu City is the oldest city in the Philippines and largest urban area after Manila. Located off the coast of Cebu City, the Cebu-Mactan International Airport is the gateway to central and southern Philippines.

Cebu City is famous for its cultural heritage sites – such as Magellan’s Cross, Basilica Minore del Sto. Nino, Fort San Pedro, Plaza Independencia, and many more. There are several ancestral houses and museums that you can easily visit as well. The local cuisine is a definite must-try, especially the well-famed Cebu Lechon.

This exciting city is an excellent base to explore the natural and heritage sites of Cebu Island. Head on over to the south of Cebu for an exhilarating canyoneering adventure at Kawasan Falls and to Moalboal to swim with thousands of sardines. You can also head up north to the ethereal Bantayan Island for some sky-diving, and to Malapascua Island, to swim with thresher sharks.

Pro tip: Remember to set your minimum/maximum price, travel dates, and sort by review ratings. Book sooner rather than later if you already have your dates set. Cheaper-priced rooms and hotels with high reviews tend to get fully booked faster, especially during busy days like weekends, holidays & peak tourist seasons.
