Known for its tourist destinations rich in cultural heritage, Cebu City boasts of wonderful places to visit. One may be familiar with Magellan’s Cross, Sumilo Island, and Oslob Whale Shark-watching, yet there are still other beautiful places. We’ve listed down three breathtaking attractions in Cebu. While you are traveling in this city, elevate your stay experience at Citadines Cebu City. The fourth of Citadines Apart’hotel in the country is set to open in October this year. With its Ascott Host program together with the warm hospitality of the Visayan region, guests will certainly enjoy their travel in Cebu.
Cebu’s Taj Mahal
With its intricate architecture, the Temple of Leah is often compared to the Taj Mahal. Local and foreign visitors stand in awe with the temple’s Greek-inspired architecture. It features gigantic lion statues, brass angels, and a grand staircase. These interesting decors only add to the wonderful interiors of the temple’s 24 chambers, museum, and library. These contain the memorabilia and treasures of the late Leah Albino-Adarna. Like the story of the Taj Mahal, Leah’s husband Teodorico Soriano Adarna built this temple out of his love for her.
The little Amsterdam
For professional photographers and even enthusiasts of casual photography, you will certainly love the Sirao Flower Garden. Situated at the elevated area of Busay, the garden is a lovely oasis of celosia flowers in orange, yellow, and purple hues. With the lone windmill and the cold breeze in this area, you are bound to have a peaceful time here. Tourists recount their experience like going to the Netherlands.
Panoramic view
Perfect for daytime picnics and casual dinners, Tops Lookout offers a breathtaking view of Cebu City’s skyline. Standing 600 meters above the city, this is an excellent area to witness the grandeur of Cebu’s buildings, including Mactan Bridge and neighboring islands. To stay at a longer time and enjoy the view especially at sunset, there are cafes where you can indulge in scrumptious treats. Bring a jacket with you as the weather can get quite cold at night.
