Magellan’s Cross is Cebu’ s most popular tourist destination. It is a historical landmark that serves as a reminder of the power and pervasiveness of the Catholic Church in the Philippines. another historical landmark is the Fort San Pedro that showcases Spanish memorabilialeft over from the Spanish colonial period. It was once a bulwark of Spain’s power in Cebu. Today it serves as a vestige of past colonial command.  Because the Spaniards were the most enduring colonizers in Philippine history, it is their influence that is most apparent in the Philippines.  Casa Geroda is a testament to Spanish cultural influence. 

Filipinos have a penchant for enormous shopping malls, and Cebu certainly isn’t exempt from this surfeit of merchandising madness.

Best Shopping Buys

Shopping for local products and delicacies will take the earnest traveler to the unglamorous market places of Cebu. Carbon market is located at downtown Cebu, packed with street vendors hawking everything from used clothes to vegetables. It’s a cheap place to buy the famed Cebu  mangoes and the well reputed Cebu guitar. 

 

NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT

One of the better options Cebu’s  nightlife offers is the backdrop of a breathtaking nightscape amidst a round of drinks. Drinking stops, hangouts and lookout points dot the elevated setting of Busay Hills, making it a great place to chill and catchthe breeze under a brilliant nightsky while appreaciating the expanse of Cebu’s horizon.
