Cebu - travel information 

Cebu Province is situated in the heart of the Philippines archipelago, in the centre of the Visayan Islands some 560 km south of Manila. It is made up of 167 islands including Cebu Island, Mactan, Bantayan, Daanbantayan and the Camotes Group, and lying between Negros in the West and Bohol in the East. The island is 300 km long about 40 km at its widest point. From Santander in the south to Medellin in the north a mountain range divides East and West.

Cebu City is the oldest and third-largest city of the Philippines and basks in its enviable status as the most popular tourist and business destination in the Philippines. The island offers fine beaches and scuba diving and it is the Philippines' shipping crossroad located at the centre of the archipelago.

Exploring Cebu City, one encounters a rich historic past. Cebuanos are extremely proud of their cultural and historical heritage, a legacy which has endured through the centuries since the great explorer Ferdinand Magellan first planted the cross on Cebu 's shore.

Time has been kind to Cebu. From Zubu, the fishing village and busy trading port in 1521 it has evolved into a highly urbanized metropolitan centre which now serves as focal point of growth and development in Southern Philippines, but in contrast to this bustling metropolis, the rest of Cebu's 167 islets and islands are lined with idyllic white sandy beaches and pristine clear waters. Cebu has gained wide popularity for its fantastic diving grounds evidenced by the proliferation of resorts which offer luxurious accommodation and excellent dive facilities.

Cebu Island's strategic location makes it ideal for those who wish to travel to the other islands and provinces. By plane, boat or bus, nowhere is too far from Cebu.
