Cebu Port is the largest domestic port in the Philippines; situated on the east coast it borders the Mactan Channel, a narrow strait between Cebu and the Mactan Islands. Cebu Port belongs in Cebu City, the oldest city of the Philippines and the country’s first capital. Over the years it has transcended into a hub of activity, with many tourists flocking over to witness its historic monuments and stunning architecture. Being a purely domestic port, Cebu Port only serves to other islands belonging to the Philippines. Five companies are in operation from Cebu Port, all offering daily crossings to Bohol Island Port, Cagayan De Oro Port, Danao Port and Ilo-ilo Port. Each ferry route runs around one or two times per day, typically leaving in the early morning and lasting for around two hours. Cebu Port is popular among passengers for its recently renovated canteen area and free Wi-Fi for customers.
Manila is the capital of the Philippines, lying on the west coast of the country. It has many ferry routes departing the port, primarily to other popular tourists resorts belonging to the Philippines such as Cebu, Bacolod City and Cagayan De Oro. Covering a vast area and laying home to nearly two million people, Manila isn’t short of things to do. The trendy art galleries, thriving alternative music scene and chilled bars have transformed it from a place synonymous with hardship into one of Asia’s most effortlessly cool cities. Skyscrapers litter the skyline and the streets are overwhelmed with traffic, but that’s what Manila is all about – a bustling metropolitan city offering a modern café or atmospheric restaurant on every corner. For those wishing to sample a traditional sightseeing trip, then there is a lot to fit on the itinerary. The rich history associated with Manila hasn’t faded away in the shadow of its modernisation; the walled city of Intramuros is a spectacularly unique sight, and just across the road visitors are obliged to experience the beautiful Rizal Park. Fort Santiago, Manila Cathedral and San Agustin Church are all worthwhile visiting, or for a refreshing change of pace the Marikina Shoe Museum or Manila Ocean Park provide a more relaxed experience. Unconventional transport is on the agenda in Manila; jeepneys swarm the city, which are similar to a pick-up truck, carrying many passengers at a time on a fixed route. They don’t detour for any passengers, but are a very cheap way to get closer to a more desired destination. Regular taxis are also fairly inexpensive, and considering the city’s chaotic nature, they are oftentimes the easiest and most convenient option.
