The city tour starts off with a visit to the tremendous Taoist Temple, which is based just six kilometres from the centre of the city. The temple towers over everything within its reach as it stands at a mesmerising 300 metres high. Built back in 1972 by a predominantly Chinese community - its ornate structure makes it a must-see Taoist temple! It is open to both worshippers and non-worshippers, which certainly works to your advantage as you’ll get the chance to do as the Romans do.
On the way to the Basilica we’ll go past The Carbon Market which serves up everything from fresh meat to handicrafts and is loved by locals and tourists alike. We shall also pass by Cebu’s Provincial Capital which houses the provincial government of Cebu in the Philippines.
Stop off at the oldest Catholic Church in all of The Philippines: Basilica Minore de San Agustin where you’ll find a statue of the Infant Jesus. Just a stroll away is Magellan’s Cross which marks the spot where Christianity first made its way to The Philippines almost 500 years ago.
Not far away from there, you’ll stumble across Fort San Pedro which was the first ever built military stronghold in the country. Its walls have been recently renovated so that it could be restored to its former glory. Inside there’s a gorgeous garden in the inner courtyard; this provides a place of rest tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the harbour.
Last but not least, we head to Casa Gorordo. What started out as a mid-19th century house, has become a national historic landmark cherished by all who step foot inside. The museum, which is located in The Pari-an district, which is better known as today’s downtown area, was the home of Cebu’s wealthy at the turn of the century. Of the four houses that still remain, the Gorordo was restored and furnished to best reflect the style of the period in which it was constructed. Asides from its furnishings, there are various porcelain and liturgical pieces, clothes, old photographs and other artefacts from a bygone Cebu.
Explore the famous landmarks of these two highly urbanized cities in Central Visayas Region and discover why Cebu City was declared as the “Queen City of the South” and Lapu-Lapu City as a “Historic Resort City”.

It is also a place for prayer and pilgrimage to a large number of people each year, making it one of the most popular attractions in Cebu. In 1565, Miguel Lopez de Legazpi called Basilica Minore Del Sto. Niño as San Agustin Church. The exact location of the church is the same spot where Legazpi’s Spaniard troupe discovered the image of Sto. Niño. It was thought to be the gift of Ferdinand Magellan to Queen Juana, the wife of Rajah Humabon, as a sign of their allegiance and over forty years of their baptism to Christianity.
Yap - San Diego Ancestral House
The Yap-San Diego Ancestral House in Cebu is one of the oldest houses in the Philippines and is said to be the first-ever Chinese house built outside of China. Made during the Spanish colonial era, it is a 17th-century structure featuring a combination of Spanish and Chinese influences. Built between 1675 and 1700, the house originally belonged to a wealthy Chinese merchant, Don Juan Yap, and his wife, Doña Maria Florido, together with their three children, Maria, Consolacion, and Eleuterio. In the 1880s, Maria, their eldest daughter, married the Parian Cabeza de barangay, Don Mariano San Diego. The house got its name from their marriage.

The Heritage of Cebu Monument, a tableau showcasing the important events in Cebu City’s history, is one of the highlights of the town.

Where the Heritage of Cebu Monument stands is also a historic place in the city. Parian District was home to elite and respected Cebuano families during the Spanish period. The word "parian" originated from the word "pari-pari" which means to barter or trade.
Magellan’s Cross
Magellan’s Cross is one of the most famous historical landmarks in Cebu City. Housed in an octagonal pavilion made up of adobe and red tiles, many tourists have regularly visited the cross. It is located in front of the Cebu City Hall, near the Basilica Minore Del Sto. Nino at Magallanes Street is named after Magellan. On March 15, 1521, when Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese navigator, worked for the King of Spain, together with his crew, arrived in Cebu. Right there, he met and befriended Rajah Humabon, the then chieftain of Cebu. Magellan persuaded Humabon, his wife Queen Juana, and their native people to accept Christianity and baptize them as Christians.
Cebu Museum (Museo Sugbo)
Museo Sugbo in Cebu City is the province’s provincial museum. The museum gets its name from the name of Cebu City before it was colonized by the Spanish. The building used to be the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (the provincial jail) from the 1870s to 2004. The original structure was designed in 1869 and was originally intended to be the main prison for the whole Visayas region, which explains its massive size. It is believed that some of the coral blocks used to build the prison were from the demolished Parian church. Now, the coral-stone walls house 14 galleries with artifacts and memorabilia from the history of the province and the Philippines.
