Cebu | The most walkable city in the Philippines, full of historical and cultural atmosphere
There is only one day in Cebu. The tour route is: Fort San Pedro-Basilica del Santo Nino-Magellan Cross-SM city. From the Cebu Port, the first three places can be reached on foot. A city with a strong historical and cultural atmosphere.đź“Ť#Fort San Pedro
Fort San Pedro is located next to the Cebu Port. It is known as the oldest castle in the Philippines together with the Fort San Diego in Manila. It was built when Spain first arrived in the Philippines. The castle was used to resist the Japanese army in World War II. It was used as a barracks for officers during the US military rule. Now it has been converted into a school classroom. But you can go in and visit. There are two small exhibition halls inside. Tickets: 30 pesos
đź“ŤBasilica del Santo Nino
This is one of the oldest Catholic churches in the Philippines. There is a statue of the Holy Child in the church, which is considered one of the most sacred treasures in the Philippines. You can see many women selling candles nearby. If you buy their candles, they will pray for you.
đź“Ť#Magnolia Cross Magellan's Cross
The cross is next to the Basilica del Santo Nino. This cross was built to commemorate the arrival of Magellan of Portugal in the Philippines in 1521 and the Catholic faith.
đź“ŤSM city
After visiting the above three places, you can take a break and go shopping. You need to take a taxi. It is about 300 pesos. SM city is one of the largest shopping malls in Cebu. There are all kinds of brands here, and there are also Philippine drugstores. There are many delicious foods. The Starbucks here is very cost-effective. If you are tired of shopping for a day, it is a good choice to rest here. You can also experience the shopping mall culture in the Philippines.
In addition, I recommend a local fast food restaurant in the Philippines-Jolibee. It is similar to KFC and McDonald's. It is everywhere in the Philippines, and the price is very affordable. There are many people in each store, and there are also combinations that I don’t understand, such as fried chicken with rice.
