What travellers are saying
- ZimminaroundtheworldOkinawa Prefecture, Japan1,973 contributionsFort San Pedro is worth visiting while in Cebu. The fort is small so it does not take a whole lot of time, I'd say 30 minutes to an hour max. The entrance was cheap, although now I can't recall how much it was. Once inside, you are free to explore the grounds. There are a few information signs worth reading. You can also walk the walls on the upper level. Overall, I'd say Fort San Pedro is worth a visit.Written 31 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- SBVegasAdventuresLas Vegas, NV300 contributionsThe cross is cool but no more than a few minutes are needed. There are questions if this is the original cross or of the original is encased inside this one but it is still cool to visit. Lots of other sites to see in the area. It is near pier one so have a look if in the area.Written 4 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Simon CAshtead, UK765 contributionsApparently, this is the oldest Chinese house in Cebu and I was told “most is original”.
I am sceptical, the floorboards like more like 35 years old not 350 and nails were not around in the 1670s. The owners, I mam told, stay at weekends, but hard to see quite where since their bedroom looked very unoccupied.
One uncomfortable moment was in the garden where there is a harpist, who for a few peso, will play a little, at which three young children- aged between 4-7, dressed in traditional dress wake up (or are woken) from dozing in a nearby room and rush to perform a series of whirls and swirls. They don’t look happy and I felt this bordered on child abuse.
The harpist told me these were his children, so does this make it ok?Written 26 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Lots to see and do around the area with monument and YAPS house. The oldest street in Cebu City and location of night markets.Written 24 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Inside you find a nice house with a lot of information about the area, historic Cebu and the history of the family that once lived here.
We had a well informed and enthusiastic tour guide who explained everything very well.

The landscape of this Cebu City park is made up of maintained gardens & lots of cemented open spaces
Plaza Independencia has plenty of monuments to check outWritten 1 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
