Cebu City is the capital and the main city of the island of Cebu. It is one of the oldest cities of the country. Even though it's old, Cebu is a very lively place with many places to go out, eat and have fun. It's a great base for seeing the rest of the island as well as making trips to Bohol, Philippines (with its famous Chocolate Hills), Mactan island (just off the coast of Cebu) or even Mindanao.
