Wandering Around Cebu City

The Queen City of the South is undoubtedly the busiest City outside Manila. Cebu to Visayas is what Manila is to Luzon. The growth and urbanization is non-stop. Tall buildings, malls and business centers abound. Traffic and fast-paced life is also evident.

But amidst its buzzling phase, one can still find historical and interesting place in the city. Afterall, this City is known as the oldest city in the Philippines. Spanish influence in the city is evident in Fort San Pedro and Magellan's Cross. Fine architecture can be seen in the Provincial Capitol Building and the new Heritage of Cebu Monument. And every January, the Basilica Minore del Santo Nino is the center of celebrations. Of course, walking in Colon Street in downtown Cebu will give you a bragging right that you have walked in the oldest street in the Philippines, although without that nostalgic feel.

Here are some shots I have taken while I was wandering around Cebu City:
