4. Just be careful at night, I suggest you go to:
Crown regency (skywalk/edgecoaster), I.T park, Ayala Center Cebu, Tops / MT. View
5. Please keep in mind that dako jud ug chance na mag lisod na ka sa transpo during rush hour, if you have a smartphone and 3G, try downloading taxi apps like "grabi taxi" or "MiCab".
Click here for jeepney routes , you may need someone to contact in case you have questions about routes.
If nahan sad mo, pwede mo mag rent ug car para mas adventure and convenient. just have your gps or smartphone (3G) ready. download apps like "ways". and have someone in speed dial para in case.
My cousin and his barkada from manila stayed here in cebu for a week, and nag rent sila car, na abot gud silag bantayan, sila sila ra using google map and ways sa iphone.
Romantic places:
