Basilica Minore del Santo Nino – When you speak of Cebu, the Santo Nino is the first to come to mind. The center of the popular Sinulog Festival, the highly venerated image of the child Jesus is enshrined in Basilica Minore del Santo Nino. It is the oldest religious relic in the country, given to Queen Juana by Magellan in 1521. In the same way, the church is the oldest, founded by Miguel Lopez de Legazpi and Fray de Urdaneta in 1565. Both the church and the Santo Nino relic have survived numerous fires and natural disasters.

Taoist Temple – Found in Beverly Hills, the Taoist Temple preserves the teachings and philosophy of Lao Tzu. Climb all 81 steps (which represent the 81 chapters of Taoism scriptures) to the reach the temple and light incense sticks on top. On certain days of the week, Taoist ceremonies are observed.

Cave Busay – If you are having a holiday with your kids, take them spelunking in Cave Busay for a fun adventure. The 200-meter-long tunnel is easy but exciting, and the children will definitely enjoy seeing bats, stalagmites, and other formations. There is a fresh water spring that they can swim in, too. For more fun caving adventures, you may also want to visit the municipality of Barili or Mt. Lantoy, which boast countless cave systems.

Olango Wildlife Sanctuary – Head to Olango Island and be blown away by the beauty of migratory birds. Here, you will find the largest concentration of migratory birds in the country, so be sure to bring binoculars and a camera. These birds have traveled all the way from Siberia, China, and Japan to escape the winter cold and are flying south as far as Australia and New Zealand from July to November. The birds stop in Olango for food and water.

These are only 4 of the many spots that you can visit while staying at Cebu City's MontebelloVilla Hotel. Ask the concierge for more information and assistance. Enjoy your stay!
