EXPLORE CEBU

Cebu City, also known as the “Queen City of the South,” is the country’s oldest city. Before Ferdinand Magellan arrived in the 1520s, it was already a thriving trade hub. In 1565, it became the first Spanish-established city and briefly served as the capital.

The city is home to historic landmarks like the Magellan’s Cross, the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño, and Fort San Pedro. It is known for the Sinulog Festival, one of the biggest in the country, celebrated for its rhythmic dance movements that mimic the flow of a river.
