The Place
Cebu, Philippines
City introduction
Island-hopping, whale sharks and Spanish-era squares in the central Philippines. Cebu anchors the central Philippines: canyoneering at Kawasan Falls, whale-shark encounters in Oslob, island-hopping to Mactan and Malapascua, and Spanish colonial landmarks like Magellan's Cross in the city. It's the classic Philippines base — beaches first, city sights second.
