A brief introduction to Cebu

The Philippines’ second largest city, Cebu is ideal for travellers seeking pristine beaches, world class diving experiences, and sites of cultural and historical significance.

To experience your own slice of paradise, consider a visit to Lambug Beach, White Beach or Paradise Beach, where you can relax on soft, powdery white sand and dive amongst Cebu’s vibrant aquatic life. Swim amongst colourful coral reefs, vast schools of sardines, and observe from a distance the world’s largest fish - the endangered whale shark.

For a deeper look into the Philippines’ religious history, pay a visit to the revered church of Basilica of Santo Niño. Built almost 500 years ago, the church hosts the country’s oldest religious relic – an intricate wooden doll created in the image of a youthful Jesus. The vibrant Cebu Taoist Temple is also an integral part of Cebu’s religious heritage, while history lovers will appreciate the Spanish fortress of Fort San Pedro.

Other important historical sites include Magellan’s Cross, towering bronze Lapu-Lapu Monument, and the elaborate Roman-style Temple of Leah.
