The Mactan Airport, although small is considered a major international airport in the Visayas region of the Philippines. It is located in Lapu-Lapu City, Mactan Island, Metro Cebu and is the country’s second primary gateway. The airport is managed by the Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority.

The airport property covers an area of about 797 hectares with a single 3,300 meter runway that is complimented by a full-length taxiway. The terminal building has a capacity of handling 4.5 million passengers annually on two wings, the domestic wing and the international wing is considered the second busiest next to NAIA!

Cebu Landmarks

Monday, October 24th, 2011

Cebu – The Queen City of the South is famous for their palatable delicacies, tranquil beaches, distinct religion and renowned landmarks and destinations. These prominent destinations entice both local and foreign travelers.

If you want historical places to visit you may have a trip to Magellan’s Cross.  This famous landmark is a 485 year-old cross that stands at a small chapel located across Cebu City Hall and along Magallanes Street.  The easiest way to go to the area is to take a cab and all drivers know where it is. Nearby you may pay a visit to Santo Nino Basilica – the oldest Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines built in the 16th century. The church is frequented by a large number of tourists, devotees, pilgrims, and regular churchgoers.

Most of the tourists come over during the Sinulog Festival, one of the grandest and most colorful festivals in the Philippines. The main festival is held each year on the third Sunday of January in Cebu City to honor the Santo Niño, or the child Jesus, who used to be the patron saint of the whole province of Cebu. It is essentially a dance ritual which remembers the pagan past of Filipinos and their acceptance of Christianity.

The Taoist Temple is a typical Chinese structure constructed in 1972 by the large Chinese community of Cebu. Built about 300 meters above sea level, this temple champions Taoism. Every Wednesday and Sunday, Taoist devotees perform religious rites, climbing about 99 steps of the temple to light incense and have their fortunes soothsaid by a monk. Located at Beverly Hills, this temple has a roof decorated in typical Pagoda manner and has a magnificent entrance that will remind you of the Great Wall of China. The top of the temple provides an amazing vista of the surrounding landscape.

Fort San Pedro at Pier Area was originally built by the Spaniards to defend themselves from the foreign invaders, but now this has transformed into a museum that cradles the artifacts (porcelain pieces, lockets, coins, fragments of swords, cannon etc), collected from the old Spanish Galleon known as San Diego, from the deep seas of Fortune Island off the cost of Nasugbo, Batangas.

For thrill seekers, try the Sky Experience Adventure famed by Crown Regency Hotel and Towers, the tallest hotel tower in the Philippines, located at Fuente Osmeña. The hotel offers height exhilaration and superb experience. You may pick from various activities that can give gratification: Edge Coaster, Sky Walk Extreme, 4D Theater, Sky Observatory Cliff Hanger and Sky Lift.

Definitely, Cebu is a must see destination and must land a spot in your Bucket List!
