Cebu
An arterial organ in the Philippines’ sea trade, the province of Cebu depicts a harmonious blend of urban delights and sun-kissed escapes. Hallowed churches, like the Santo Niño Basilica and Simala Church, dot the predominantly Catholic region, and you’ll best enjoy the sheer scale of its cities from the Tops’ panoramic viewpoint. Just a boat ride away, Cebu’s islands, replete with waterfalls, whale sharks and reefs, provide a gratifying hideaway.
