A sprawling museum that is one of the biggest in the Philippines. Housed in a former 19th-century jail complex, it features the history of Cebu and its society. Has a coffee shop with free WiFi.
The biggest mall in the Visayas and Mindanao. SM City simply has it all. WiFi is free and you can just tap anywhere within the mall.
This is where you buy the famous danggit of Cebu. Go for the unsalted kind and deep-fry in really hot oil!
While not offering a wide variety of choices for shopping.... It does offer free WiFi. That is reason enough to make ur stop worthwhile.
Situated around 2,000 feet above sea level up in the cool hills of Busay is Tops. It is a very popular sight-seeing spot offering a stunning view of Metro Cebu.

Breakfast buffet is around P799++ over at Cafe Uno. You can also buy Haagen Dazs ice cream at the cafe-lobby. Mini cup is P249
Ask for Cityview or Seaview rooms; great view just below 18th floors if you can't get the executive rooms. Close the drapes if you don't want the Sun to wake you up.
Of course, try their lechon. Don't forget the kamias shake. And if you're up for a lil wake-me-up happy hour, ask for the "happy version" of the kamias shake (+tequila). Special order for a lil buzz.
You can split the brians ribs into two and order a pasta or something else and a pitcher of panama orange or raspberry iced tea :)
If you're into disco dancing, bar hopping, clubbing and meeting people, then this place is right for you. Party starts at night during weekends.
The best and most extensive range of the a la carte "native restaurants. Don't settle for less. The Crispy Pata is soooo good!!!!!
Must try: mongo soup and bicol express. The crispy pata, however, fails in comparison with alejandro's.
Known for the amazing home cooked meals- do go for the tuna
Great school! High quality of education at a very affordable tuition fee! ;)
I like their grilled squid and the sizzling bangus (milkfish). Order their blended Iced Tea to wash it down. Their clam soup and kinilaw are also good.
While everything in Cebu seemingly being drawn towards the bigger is better concept I personally enjoy the smaller much less crowded Shopping experience in Banilad Town Center or short BTC. อ่านเพิ่มเติม
A great place for the family! Advisable to bring your own balaclava, helmet, and gloves. The rentals are okay but it's always best to have your own.
Bring extra cash! You dont know when you might be asked for additional deposits...
This is one of the only two hospitals people know in Cebu. The other one is Southern Islands Medical Center.
A must visit when in Cebu. The temple offers serene moment for those seeking peace of mind. Ideal visit is early morning!
Better to buy otap here than Tabo-an market to be assured that you're getting a fresh batch.
Been here a lot of times.. But the most unforgettable one was with Phobi. We got in here at 12mn just for our midnight snack and aylavit' ♥.. Great beverages. Cheers!!!
You might wanna drop by Magellan's cross and Santo Niño Church. It's just a few blocks from where you are and you get to earn points in 4square.
This is a good place for products like cocktail meats, cheeses, etc. A lot like Santiis (from Manila) but with a resto inside. Love this place.

Saturday night. Pinoy Bistek plus some local music. Perfect for chilling out with great friends. Saturday night, okay? :)
Worth the 40 peso entrance fee. The place is well-kept! Don't forget to visit the exhibits on the first floor.
