Worry-free! Cebu City and Mactan Island Half-day Tour Guide

We mainly came to Cebu to see whale sharks and sardine run, and stayed in the city for about half a day. Here is my itinerary. Itinerary: Airport ➡️ Lapu-Lapu Monument and Magellan's Marker ➡️ Magellan's Cross ➡️ Basilica del Santo Niño ➡️ Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral 1️⃣ Lapu-Lapu Monument and Magellan's Marker Navigation🧭Lapulapu Monument Free! Super niche! I searched online and found almost no complete guide, only a few simple shares, and no location, so I searched on the map and finally found it. It is located on Mactan Island, and since the airport is also on Mactan Island, it is recommended to take a Grab directly here after getting off the plane, which costs about 38💰, and then take a taxi from here to Magellan's Cross, which costs about 70💰. Magellan was a great man. His fleet completed a circumnavigation of the globe, proving that the earth is round. Note that it was his fleet, because Magellan himself died in a conflict with the locals on Mactan Island and never returned to Spain, and the one who fought against Magellan's fleet was the local tribal chief LapuLapu. During the Spanish colonization of the Philippines, the government built the Magellan's Marker here, and after the Philippines became independent, they erected the LapuLapu statue next to the Magellan's Marker (I don't know if it was to disgust the 🇪🇸 government). Magellan was great, but in the hearts of Filipinos, LapuLapu, who defended the territory and bravely fought against the colonizers, is the real hero. 2️⃣ Magellan's Cross Navigation🧭magellen’s cross Closes at 18:00! Free! It is the size of a pavilion, and when it is open, you can take a close-up photo with Magellan's Cross. After it is closed, because it is an iron fence, you can also put your phone in to take pictures. The lights are on inside, but you can't take a close-up photo. To the south and north of Magellan's Cross are the City Hall and Basilica del Santo Niño, respectively. 3️⃣ Basilica del Santo Niño It is right next to Magellan's Cross, with several guards guarding the gate. Walk through the enter passage, and the Basilica del Santo Niño is on the left. Open until after 8pm, open at 8pm, closed at 9pm. Free! I came here at 5pm and caught a mass, which was very solemn. No photos are allowed in the main hall, but there is a large area outside the main hall, which is also very photogenic. 4️⃣ Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral Free! Opening hours: 9:00–15:30 This church is bigger and more spectacular than the Basilica del Santo Niño, and it is very close to the Basilica del Santo Niño, so you can visit them together. Overall, you can visit almost all of them in about 4 hours.
