What to do: 24 hours in Cebu

We initially planned to stay longer in Cebu City during this visit. But some things happened, so we were left with only 24 hours to explore this vibrant city of the south.

Our ferry from Bohol arrived at Cebu port just a little over 12noon. After leaving our things in the hotel, we immediately checked out what the city has to offer.

And here's what we did with our 24hours:

1. Lunch at CnT , and eat the famous Cebu lechon!

This is one of those days I'm so thankful that I'm not a vegetarian. I mean, one cannot go to Cebu and not eat its famous lechon! And CnT serves the best tasting lechon I've ever ate in my whole life! 



2. Buy pasalubongs at Tabo-An Public Market.

Warning: this place smells like dried fish. Literally it smells like daing, tuyo,  and danggit. So if you're going there, make sure this the last stop of you itinerary for the day. Don't go there and plan to roam around the city. Unless you're okay to walk with people looking at you, covering their nose.

3. Dinner at Larsians.

This is Cebu's famous barbecue strip food area. You go around, pick what you eat, and have it cook there!



4. Walk around Fort San Pedro.

After breakfast at the hotel the next day, we headed out to explore Fort San Pedro. This used to be a military area during Spanish era. It's not that big, but if you're into history, this place is good to spend your time on.




5. Go to Santo Nino Church and Magellan's cross.

Just a short distance from Fort San Pedro is the Santo Nino Church and Magellan's cross. Being a Catholic country, I'd say this is a must visit when it's your first time in Cebu City. We were lucky because it was Sunday when we came here. The area was so vibrant, and there were a lot of people on the streets! Now  I wonder how it really is during Sinolog! :)




6. Go to Cebu IT Park

We went to Zubuchon for lunch, which was located in Cebu IT Park. This is the Business District of the city.



7. Chill at Ayala Center

We got tired from walking around Fort San Pedro and Santo Nino church, so we felt to just rest and chill while we wait for our evening flight. We went to Ayala Center where we just sat in Starbucks and do some people-watching. :)
