If you have read my previous post, you would know that for the first time last March, I finally visited Cebu City. It was just a short visit, a side trip from our Bohol family vacation. But we were still able to squeeze in a few hours for a walking tour. I couldn't say for sure that I could bring back my family here again, might as well have a look around and see some of the city's famous landmarks. :)
So after a few minutes of rest in the hotel (
after a tiring trip from Bohol), we went out to do our walking tour. It's literally a walking tour; from our
hotel in
Colon street, we walk our way to
Basilica del Sto. Nino to the nearby
Plaza Independencia and finally, to
Fort San Pedro. And why did we do that? Simply because I thought it's near, blame my phone for that! :P (
Before we left the hotel, I checked my phone for directions. I thought it would be easier to follow directions from my phone's map than asking the locals. The downside - places look closer (just several blocks away) if viewed in the map when actually, they are far apart!) Though it's still within walking distance, it's kinda far if you're tired and you've just been from a long trip.
Anyway, here are some of the photos I took during our walking tour.

The sites (landmarks) mentioned here are all walking distance from each other. If your visit here (Cebu City) is very limited (in terms of time), you may still enjoy your stay by exploring this City's famous landmarks and by shuttering, to your heart's content. I did, though my photos say otherwise. Thanks for visiting here peeps! :)
I was born is Cebu, I haven't been around the province much. I would always head straight to Bantayan Island where our family is. You should visit the island soon. I have some photos of it my blog too. Glad you featured Cebu :))

ReplyDeletetama lakad lakad lng marami ka ng makikitang magaganda historic places, ang ayaw ko lng diyan sis ang daming sasakyan parang manila ang peg, well nasanay lang siguro ako dito sa probinsiya namin na dipa masyadong crowd ang kalsada.

I am seeing a lot of people doing a walking tour, and I think that this is somewhat the new trend now for those who loves traveling. By the way, I love the content of your article, so informative. Love your photos as well.
