If you are traveling with older kids, you can add more places like visiting ancestral houses, libraries and museums. You can add a trip to Museo Sugbo and Rizal Memorial Library and Museum. If you and your kids are up to checking some pasalubong like danggit, dried mangoes, and otap, you can drop by Taboan Dried Fish Market and Pasalubong Center.
Watch a travelogue of our recent trip for a kid-friendly Cebu City Tour to the historical sites in Cebu and Mactan.
The places we visited are grouped together such that we can just walk from one stop to the next. Public transport is available but the easiest way to get around Cebu is by taxi, specially if you have kids in tow. Another option for a hassle-free tour is to avail of car rental services.
Gab is loves map and navigating the streets so we made a map for this travel showing Cebu’s historical sites we will visit.
