1. Capitol Site (Near Fuente Osmena) for your accommodation.
If you are visiting a place, most of the time, you will be out to enjoy the many sites there. That means, it is not favorable if you stay in a very expensive hotel and let your bags or baggages enjoy the accommodation. Since you will likely be out 3/4 of the day, you might as well find a cheaper inn or pension house. After all, you will only be in your room during sleeping time.
If you are in Cebu City, find an accommodation at Jones, somewhere near Fuente Osmena, at the back of Chonghua Hospital or Robinsons Cybergate. You will see a lot of tourist inns and pension houses there such as Westpoint Inn, Jasmine, and Dynasty Tourist Inn. I've stayed in most of them and I did not have any complain. All were neat and clean.
The one that I recommend the most is the Travelbee Bed and Breakfast for the following reasons: (a) FREE WIFI, not only at the lobby but also at the rooms (b) Very cheap but the rooms are BIG (c) Rooms include Cable TV, Hot and Cold Shower, and Airconditioner (d) Free 1 breakfast everyday (e) The staff are friendly. You may see the photos and list of prices here.
2. Skywalk and Edge Coaster Ride
Rate: P750.00 for both (Inclusive of T-shirt, Snacks, and Certificate)
P250.00 per photo (You will not be allowed to bring cameras with you. It will be placed on a locker)

Tip: If you will be staying at an accommodation I suggested in number 1, the first thing you should do is number 2 because it's just a walking distance.

Location: Beverly Hills Subdivision, Lahug
Tip: Since it is located in a subdivision, public vehicles do not go there. You must ride a private vehicle or cab (taxi). It's hard to look for vehicles in going back to the downtown area, so I suggest you negotiate (offer extra payment) with the cab driver to wait for you at the temple.
7. Asiatown IT Park

10. Jazz N Bluz Bar and Restaurant
Cebu City is home to Jazz n' Bluz - the sanctuary of improvisation in this central Philippine paradise.
Just off the beaten path is a jazz corner that houses a place where believers in the order of the blue note go to make their pilgrimage to get their regular anointing.
Rate: P160.00 for cover charge per person. For food? It depends.
Time Suggestion: After dinner. 9pm onwards.
Reservation: No need. Walk-ins are allowed.
Outfit: Decent Formal-Casual Attire

Tip: Before going there, have a full stomach. Their dishes are too expensive. You may just order a drink or two and have a night full of jazz music. Oh, they also have dance instructors so you could dance the night away!
That's all for now!! I'll add more soon! :)
