    Carbon Market

    Grab a quick bite or snack at Carbon Market. As the largest farmers’ market in the city, it offers plenty of local street food options to try before the sun sets.

  2. 17:31

    Heritage of Cebu

    Walk to the Heritage of Cebu monument. Arrive early to find a good spot. The monument stands at the eastern end of Colon St, but for the best view of the sunset toward the WSW, you will need to check the route to position yourself correctly.

    Our Place Pub & Restaurant

    Head to Our Place Pub & Restaurant for dinner and a drink. It is a short walk from the monument and has been a meeting place for locals and expats since 1978. The menu features British and European food, and beer is reasonably priced.

Local tip

The sun sets toward the WSW. Since the monument is on the eastern end of Colon St, you may need to walk a short distance west to get an unobstructed view of the horizon. Check the route from the monument to find the best vantage point.
