Where to go in Cebu City, Philippines
Cebu City, also called the "Queen City of the South" in the Philippines, offers the best of both worlds: the upscale city life and the beauty of nature. It's a city in between the sea and the hills. If you don't have enough time to explore the exciting spots all around the province of Cebu, don't worry... the city's tourist destinations alone will suffice.
You can visit a variety of churches, historical sites, places with delicious food, and historical landscapes, but if you plan on seeing everything in a day, then here are the top destination in Cebu City:
