Top 5 Destinations to Visit Cebu

The city of Cebu is known as the Queen City of the South, and it is the oldest city in the country, with over 900 thousand population in 2017, making it the fifth most populated city in the Philippines. It is also the center of commerce, trade, and industry. It is considered the most livable city today according to the reviews. For this reason, I have listed the Top 5 Destinations to Visit Cebu.

I love Cebu not because of what it has to offer but because of the people here, Cebuanos for its hospitality, and they are very down to earth.

You will likely want to stay in Cebu. The city of Cebu is known for its:

• White Sand Beaches
• Beautiful Islands
• Luxury Resorts

• Historic Destinations

Most of the places just newly opened last year, not to mention SM Seaside City Cebu, Cebu Robinson’s Galleria – North Reclamation Area, and Temple of Leah.
