Sightseeing

Located on a hillside in a mountain baranggay, Sirao Flower Garden and Farm has been dubbed as Cebu's "Mini Amsterdam". Here, beds of the flame-like celosia — locally known as "burlas" — bloom and fill the garden with red, pink, purple, orange, and gold. It's a great place for pre-nups and selfies. A 20-seater cafe is also in the works for people who just want to sit back and enjoy the nice view. Entrance to the garden costs Php30 for adults while children can enter free. There's also a pictorial and camping site that can be accessed for Php25, while people doing photoshoots would have to pay Php500/person. The garden is open everyday from 7AM to 6PM. How to get there: From JY Square in Lahug, you can get on a habal-habal that'll take you to Sirao. A roundtrip costs Php150 per person. Bear in mind that you have to pay about Php100/hour you make your ride wait. You can also charter a cab for around Php1,000 - Php1,500.
