History aficionados can revel in Spanish-era edifices just minutes from

the Cebu Airport, while beach and sea lovers and those on their family
vacations in the Philippines or honeymoon in the Philippines get
access to beautiful Cebu beaches and Cebu scuba diving
spots whether their base is in the capital or the extreme north or
south.
You won't run out of tours and activities to try in Cebu, and because
of its location, accessibility, and its international airport that services
international and domestic flights, including Manila's Ninoy Aquino
International Airport and Baguio's reopened Loakan Airport, you
can also visit nearby destinations. Check out our sample Cebu to
Baguio itinerary. 
If your visit falls in January, you can also take part in the fun and
colorful Cebu Sinulog Festival, one of the most popular Philippine
festivals. 
Get started with planning your Cebu trip. Here's a rundown of Cebu
activities you can try during your trip:

Hailed as the Taj Mahal of Cebu, the Temple of Leah has become one


of the most famous landmarks in Cebu. This magnificent building is a
sight to behold and a favorite Cebu activity for taking Instagram-
worthy shots. 
If you’re up for a Cebu hillside tour, the Temple of Leah is an excellent
place to start. Located in the hills of Busay in Cebu City, Temple of Leah
is a towering seven-story building inspired by ancient Roman
architecture.
Said to have cost over PHP 80 Million, this grand structure boasts
granite floors, Doric columns, a marble fountain, and several Grecian-
style statues. 
However, it’s most photographed features are the two golden lions by
the main stairs and the nine-foot bronze statue of Leah V. Albino-
Adarna, for whom the temple was built for. Similar to the Taj Mahal of
India, the Temple of Leah was constructed as a symbol of undying love
of Teodorico Soriano Adarna for his late wife, Leah.
However, unlike the Taj Mahal, the Temple of Leah is not a tomb. The
24 chambers of the Temple of Leah houses the namesake's massive
collection of antiques, art, Chinese jars, and books. The temple is open
to the public, so be sure to stop by or try Temple of Leah
activities and be entranced by this grand gesture of love.
