Wayfinder route

Getting to Cebu City

Cebu City is the island's hub. Most visitors land at Mactan-Cebu International Airport and cross to the mainland by taxi, Grab or airport bus over the Marcelo Fernan or Mactan-Mandaue bridge.

Journey time 30-60 minutes from the airport, depending on traffic

Getting around Jeepneys cover most of the city, and taxis and Grab are everywhere. Downtown sights around Colon, Plaza Sugbo and Fort San Pedro are walkable from each other.

The airport sits on Mactan Island, so every arrival crosses a bridge into the city — allow extra time in the morning and late-afternoon peaks.

Fares and journey times are indicative and change with traffic, season and operator. Confirm locally before you travel.
