[2025 Cebu City Attraction] Travel Guide for TOPS Cebu (Updated Jul)

This time, I will introduce 5 things to do in Cebu, Philippines🇵🇭🙌 Cebu is famous for its beaches, but there are many other things to enjoy besides the beach! 1. Cheers on the beachside🍻 The Philippines has a strong image of fast food, but Cebu, which is a popular tourist destination, has many nice restaurants! The prices are also more affordable than in Japan, so I'm happy🙌 2. Eat local food Jollibee! When it comes to fast food in the Philippines, it's Jollibee! This red character is the landmark of this fast food restaurant, not only in Cebu but all over the Philippines. 3. Take photos at an Instagram-worthy spot Silao Garden, an Instagram spot in Cebu! It's located in the mountains of Cebu, so I recommend renting a taxi to get there! (It's hard to find a taxi on the way back) There are many photo spots that you often see on Instagram. And since it's a garden, the flowers are beautiful🌷 The entrance fee is cheap at 60 pesos (about 120 yen)! 4. Watch the sunset at TOPS Observatory 🌇 To the highest spot in Cebu, TOPS Observatory! You can take a taxi with Grab, but it's hard to catch a taxi on the way back, so it's a good idea to negotiate with the driver and have him wait for you 🙆🏻♀️ 5. Shopping at the supermarket When I go abroad, I always go to the supermarket! I often look up seasonings and dried noodles that locals like and buy them. The prices are also reasonable, so they're good for souvenirs 👌 6. Take a break at a stylish cafe ☕️ The Philippines has a strong image of fast food, but Cebu, which is full of tourists, has many nice and stylish cafes! I'm happy that the prices are also more affordable than in Japan 🙌🏻 Thank you for reading to the end 🙆♀️ I plan to post domestic and international travel information and recommended spots, so please follow and like if you like! #Cebu Island Tourism #Beach Resort #Cebu Island Trip #Southeast Asia Trip #Overseas Travel Strategy

'Tops,' located at the summit of Cebu Island, has soft-opened in February 2024. The area has expanded, and more dining options have been added, making it a more comfortable tourist spot. The charm of Tops lies in its breathtaking views of Cebu City. Especially in the evening, you can witness a beautiful sunset that paints the sky orange, and at night, enjoy the sparkling cityscape. Now open 24 hours, it's also recommended to visit late at night to gaze at the quiet starry sky. After the renovation, the place is filled with restaurants and cafes offering a variety of gourmet options, including steaks, pancakes, and authentic Filipino cuisine. Additionally, a shuttle bus now runs from IT Park, making access more convenient than before. The entrance fee is 100 pesos, and if you use the shuttle bus, it's 200 pesos for a round trip. Tops has become even more attractive after the renovation. Be sure to visit during your stay in Cebu!

Here are some hidden gems at the recently reopened observation deck in Cebu, Tops. How to get there 👉There is a round-trip bus from the bus terminal at Cebu IT Park. It's cheaper than catching a taxi, so I recommend it. Stylish cafes in the area 👉La Parisienne Sky An Instagram-worthy cafe located right next to Tops🍨Famous for its ice cream 👉Maharlicup Stop by on your way back from Tops. It's a long walk, so I recommend it for those who take a taxi. You can enjoy the spectacular view and traditional Philippine sweets. #100TravelStyle #CebuIsland #0YenTravelJanuary2025

If you come to Cebu, Philippines make sure to stop by here so that you will get the chance to see the City. Coming here at day or at night both give you a very instagrammable pictures. During the day, you’ll be able to see clearly the city views and during the night, all you can see is the city lights. A little tip: If you come here at night, make sure to bring a jacket because it’s very chilly here. Got a chance to come back here after 6 years. This place is very much memorable to me. I can still remember when I went here with the guy that I love the most, we we’re both speechless of how beautiful Cebu City lights is. I would differently want to come here again together with him again 🥺 #mytripvlog #cityoverlook #cebutrip #awesomepic

Tops Hill Observatory, where you can see the whole view of Cebu at a glance. It is an observatory located at the top of the mountain, and when the weather is good, you can see Mactan at a glance.

To go up Tops Hill, you can use the Cebu City Tour or take a taxi separately! We went up in a tour vehicle!! When the driver drops you off at the hill, you can spend some free time there and then send you back home👍🏻 📌 On the day we went, it was so cloudy that it was hard to see the city, but the clouds cleared up quickly and we quickly took the best shot of our lives📸🥲 📌 There is a small store at Tops Hill, and since there are many Korean tourists, they sell Korean menus and Korean dishes! That's why we enjoyed squid jjambbong at Cebu Tops Hill😍 It was so delicious Tip. It's better to avoid days with bad weather. Tip. When the sun sets, I also recommend seeing the night view! Tip. Squid Jjamppong is really delicious👍🏻👍🏻

Probably one of the most overrated tourist spots in Cebu but, will never disappoint. Nestled in Brgy. Malubog, Busay, Cebu City, Busay, Tops is great for an “anytime of the day” unwind One of the most notable things in Tops is the big old bell – which people enjoy banging. Operating hours: 7:00AM to 12:00MN daily Entrance fee: ₱100 per head How to get there? From JY Square, you can either take a taxi (ranges from P600 to P1000) or a motorbike (P100 to P150) on your way to the top. Another option is riding a jeepney from JY Square (04i, a fare of ₱7.00) and ask the driver to stop at Plaza Housing. From Plaza Housing, ride a motorcycle going to the top. You can negotiate the driver to get a cheaper fare around ₱50, but the fare that the drivers offer from Plaza Housing usually ranges from ₱75-₱80, for a one-way ride. #urbanexplorer #maydaytrip

La vie in the sky! Located at the mountaintop of Cebu City A perfect place to chill and unwind out with families and friends. #holidayvacation#wintergetaway#tripinspired

I've been to Cebu a few times, but this was my first time going to TOPS! The bus leaves from the IT Park bus terminal about every 30 minutes. It's a bit confusing, so if you say "TOPS..." at the bus terminal, they'll take you there. lol There is a ticket that includes a round trip bus ride and TOPS admission ticket, and when you arrive, you pay 200 pesos on the bus. Make sure to keep the admission ticket and the return bus ticket safe. This was my first time seeing the night view in Cebu, and it was more beautiful than I imagined. There were several restaurants, and I went to one where you could eat while watching the night view! It was cloudy so I couldn't see the sunset, but I could see Mactan Island, which was fantastic. 💰Price per person: round trip bus + admission (200 pesos), meal (560 pesos) #Cebu #tourist spot #tops

Tops Lookout, located on top of a mountain about 30 to 40 minutes by taxi or motorbike from Cebu City, is a spectacular observation spot that offers a panoramic view of Cebu City and Mactan Island. I visited it as part of a city sightseeing tour with CSP Travel, and it was easy and convenient to access. I especially recommend visiting in the evening. When the sun sets, the sky turns pink, and the beauty is breathtaking. At the observation deck, local Cebuanos were singing various songs, and the music and the scenery were integrated into a very nice space. There is also a shop where you can buy snacks and drinks, and you can relax while being blown by the night breeze. It can get a little chilly at night, so it's a good idea to bring a jacket. It's a night view spot that you can't miss in Cebu, whether you're with a couple, friends, or even alone! #Let's go abroad

#travel #myitinerary

#cityplaybook Morning coffee in Crossroads Banilad, then head to Carbon Market to feel the city’s pulse—color, chaos, charm. Grab lunch at House of Lechon, then head up to the Temple of Leah for golden-hour photos and a dose of romance and grandeur. Stay for the light shift as the city glows. Have dinner at Balay sa Busay, and if you’ve got energy, cap it all off with a nightcap at The Social or Bell+Amphora for drinks with a view.
