Cebu

A transport hub of the Visayas, combining colonial-era landmarks, waterfalls and canyons, and world-class dive sites.

Cebu Province is centered on the long, narrow island of Cebu and includes surrounding islands such as Mactan. Cebu City was one of the earliest Spanish colonial settlements in the Philippines and has Magellan's Cross and the Santo Niño Basilica. In the south, Moalboal is known for its sardine run and snorkeling with turtles, and nearby Kawasan Falls offers canyoneering; at the northern tip, Malapascua Island is a famous dive site for watching thresher sharks. The weather is most settled from December to May. Mactan–Cebu International Airport has domestic and international connections, and ferries run to islands such as Bohol and Negros.
