Sto. Nino Church is the top Cebu City tourist attraction!

サント ニーニョ 教会
As the first and oldest Church in the Philippines, Santo Nino Basilica draws the biggest tourist crowd in Cebu City, for religious and immense historical reasons. Every year in January, the Sinulog Festival attracts thousands of tourists from around the world, with most religious pilgrims visiting the Basilica itself. Besides the increase of visitors in January, the Church is always a stop for tour groups. Pictures outside and inside of the Basilica will take time and can get crowded, especially during service hours.

  • Pros:Primary landmark in Cebu with many chances for pictures of historic, religious architecture and design.
  • Cons:Can get very crowded and heavy traffic with some tourist traps.

Not to be confused with another Taoist Temple nearby on Friendship Street, the Taoist Temple is one of the most visually photogenic locations in the City. It’s located in the Beverly Hills subdivision in Lahug and can get busy with multiple tourist groups arriving at the same time – you may have to wait for the crowd to clear to get some must-have pictures of the Dragon statue. The entrance fees are low and there’s also a souvenir shop, but we advise to just simply walk around and enjoy the energy and quiet.

  • Pros:Amazing architecture and photo-taking with a souvenir shop.
  • Cons:Might be busy if other tours stop at the same time.

It’s so popular, in fact, that many pictorials have used the location for their photo shoots and the curators have adjusted prices for those purposes.
