Lots of places to see in Cebu City, Philippines!
We wasted no time... we covered a lot in two days:
1- Fort San Pedro - built in 1738 to protect against Muslim raiders. Cool historic site.
2- Basilica del Santo Nino - The oldest Catholic Church in the Philippines is located right here in Cebu! Nice visit for believers and even non-believers no matter what religious background you have
3- Magellan's Cross - Ferdinand Magellan's Catholic legacy, a large wooden cross
4- Yap-Sandiego Ancestral House - one of the oldest and best-preserved houses in all of Cebu. wow! the house was constructed out of coral stones and wood and was built sometime between 1675 and 1700
5- Cebu Heritage Monument - sculpture depicting centuries of tales and historic events. Such detailed work!
6- Cebu Taoist Temple - Located in the Beverly Hills subdivision of Cebu. Lots of steps!
7- Temple of Leah - we saw statues of angels, lions, gladiators, and -whoa- a 10-foot statue of Leah
8- Sirao Gardens - we did it for the gram. LoL lots of photo op in this pictorial garden
9- La Parisienne Sky - enjoyed yummy pastries and gelato while atop a scenic view. French-themed restaurant
10- SM Seaside - Over 800 food and non-food stores... includes 5 Cinemas, IMAX, bowling, ice skating, a theatre, a roof garden shopping, dining... holy moly!
... and, lastly, Colon Street. Colon Street sits in the heart of downtown Cebu City and is known to be the oldest street in Cebu. It even has its own monument. LoL
