ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CEBU

 

Dubbed as the “Metropolis of the South”, Cebu offers the best of both worlds—cosmopolitan lifestyle in the city with its hotels, modern shopping malls and entertainment bars and provincial rustic ambience amid lush mountain greenery.  Not too far away is Mactan island, which is accessible from Cebu City through the Marcelo Fernan bridge.  Mactan is well-known for its stretches of pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters and diving spots.  The  towns in Cebu are equally interesting, offering their own unique flavor and culture. When in Cebu, don’t forget to sample its world famous lechon and dried mangoes. or feast on fresh seafood. Cebu is the gateway to other enchanting islands nearby like Bohol, Negros, Panay, Siquijor and Camiguin.
