Go heritage tour
The Heritage of Cebu is a definitive effort through art in the adoring legacy of the City and Province of Cebu. It is to honor all the people in Cebu and a tribute to all Filipino people and the wealth of our race. But what people miss to know about these heritage parks is that they are evidential pieces of evolving culture of Cebu. Certainly, people will feel the appreciation of the oddities of the structures and the meticulously-crafted masterpieces orderly displayed in the museums and other heritage sites.
There is a bunch of heritage parks and places in Cebu that will help you understand the culture, tradition and history of Cebu, of the people and the places.

Go spiritual
Cebu being the cradle of Christianity in East Asia would already give you a hint that Catholic churches abound in different cities and municipalities.
The Simala Shrine in the south is like a Disneyland of Cebu but only that the Catholic devotees visit there to witness the church and do some pilgrimage.
The Basilica Minore del Sto. Niño is the favorite among the Catholic devotees.
Here on Escooped, we don’t really favor any religion. But I think it is fair to say that many Cebuanos are Catholic. Featuring Catholic churches are already part of the Cebu culture. However, any tourist can also visit other churches and temples such as Al-Khairiah Mosque, Taoist Temple and Fo Guang Shan Chu Un Temple.
Appreciating these structures as you visit them may find you to be in the place that induces your spirituality. But as our chief storyteller also pointed out, you don’t have to go churches to be spiritual, to go spiritual. Even going to the beach or in the mountains and meditate on these places will also help anyone spiritually.

Also, these are best places for couple’s affordable mini getaway.
