GETTING TO CEBU ( EXPLORE THE ISLAND PARADISE QUEEN CITY OF THE SOUTH )


GENERAL INFO


Cebu Is the Queen City of the South. Cebu is also the oldest city in the Philippines. Cebu is subdivided into 6 component cities and 47 municipalities. With its 6 cities; Cebu, Danao, Lapu-Lapu, Mandaue, Toledo and Talisay; and its 47 smaller towns, Cebu has more than kept pace with the nation's progress.  In contrast to the bustling metropolis, the rest of Cebu’s 167 islets and islands are lined with idyllic white sandy beaches and pristine clear waters. Cebu has gained wide popularity for fantastic diving grounds evidenced by the proliferation of resorts which offer luxurious accommodations. Cebu's strategic location makes it ideal for those who wish to travel to the other islands and provinces by plan, boat or bus. No place could be too far from Cebu.


GEOGRAPHY

Cebu is located in Central Visayas (Region 7) and the center of Philippine archipelago with a total land area of 5,000 square kilometers.

In between Cebu and Bohol is the Bohol Strait, while Tanon Strait lies alongside Cebu and Negros. Cebu is composed of several islands including Sumilon Island, Mactan Islands, Olango Island, Camotes Islands, Malapascua Island, and Bantayan Islands.
