Let's go to Busay's popular destinations! Glimpse at Cebu's romantic and scenic spots

A calm and peaceful place turns into a romantic spot at night

A sightseeing and relaxing spot 30 minutes from the City

Tucked in the mountains of Cebu City, 8.5 kilometers from the Metro is a spot frequented by both locals and tourists for its captivating beauty, cool air, and peaceful vibe. Busay Hills is the highest point for viewing Cebu City and nestled in this area are other notable tourist destinations. Sightseers often hire motorcycles, known locally as "Habal-Habel", or hire a van or car to take them around.

Tops Lookout

Perhaps one of the most popular spots in Busay, Tops Lookout is known for its sweeping view of Cebu City from 600 meters above the ground. The lush green trees and cool air here will relieve you from all the stresses of busy everyday life. Tops Lookout is open 24 hours and has shops selling food and drinks until the late hours of the night, making this place an ideal campsite too.
