When to go

December to May is easiest for city walks and onward island trips. Sinulog season brings energy, crowds and higher demand.

How to get there

Fly into Mactan-Cebu International Airport, or arrive by ferry from Bohol, Leyte, Negros and other Visayas ports.

Local transport

Use taxis, ride-hailing where available, jeepneys and buses. Allow serious traffic buffers for airport, port and cross-city transfers.

Safety note

Use normal city precautions around markets, nightlife and transport hubs. Keep day trips realistic because Cebu distances can be slower than they look.
