Getting from Cebu airport to the city center

Cebu is served by Mactan-Cebu International Airport (CEB), located approximately 14 km east of Cebu City center on Mactan Island. The airport is connected to the mainland via two bridges. Airport transfers to city center destinations include taxis, ride-hailing services, the MyBus express service, jeepneys, hotel shuttles, and private transfers. Journey times vary significantly depending on traffic conditions, particularly during rush hours when congestion on the bridges can cause delays.

Notes:

  • Prices in PHP; table created in 2025 and subject to change.
  • Traffic congestion on the Marcelo Fernan and Mandaue-Mactan bridges can significantly extend travel times, especially during rush hours (7–9 AM and 5–8 PM).
  • Yellow metered taxis use meters; white airport taxis charge fixed rates that are typically higher.
  • MyBus operates from the airport to SM City Cebu and Parkmall; service may be limited late at night.
  • Jeepneys require walking to the main road and typically involve transfers; not recommended for travelers with heavy luggage.
  • We recommend checking official transport websites for your travel planning.

Cebu travel tips

Why Cebu Is a Must on Your Travel Radar

Cebu beckons travelers with its vibrant blend of urban excitement and tropical allure. The island, often regarded as the heart of the Visayas region, offers a rich tapestry of history, culture, and pristine beaches. Imagine the thrill of wandering through bustling markets, savoring the unique flavors of lechon (roast pig), or diving into the crystal-clear waters that surround this diverse island.

Whether you are planning a cultural expedition or seeking the thrill of adventure, Cebu promises a journey that’s as enriching as it is exciting. It’s no wonder that flights to Cebu are a popular search for Kiwi travelers seeking both exploration and relaxation.

From Arrival to Adventure: Navigating Cebu’s Highlights

Once you’ve landed in Cebu, the city greets you with a palette of must-see destinations and hidden treasures. Start your exploration at the Magellan’s Cross, an iconic symbol nestled in the heart of the city, or take a stroll through Colon Street, the oldest street in the Philippines, buzzing with local life and commerce.

For those arriving on flights cleverly timed by Kiwi.com’s Travel Hacks, a visit to the stunning waterfalls of Samboan or the serene beaches of Moalboal can also be comfortably added to the itinerary the very afternoon you arrive.

The Smart Traveler’s Guide to Booking Your Cebu Escape

For budget-savvy adventurers, knowing when to fly can make all the difference. Opt for Cebu flights during the shoulder periods between March and May or in late November, when the crowd thins, but the weather remains pleasant. Aim to book 4–6 weeks in advance for the best deals, and set a Price Alert with Kiwi to stay updated on fare drops.

With Kiwi’s flexible search and nomad mode, you can easily customize your journey, blending multiple destinations while ensuring cost efficiency.

Navigating Airports and Airlines in Cebu

Mactan-Cebu International Airport serves as the gateway to the island, located conveniently close to key destinations, just a short drive from the city center. Travelers can choose between budget airlines like Cebu Pacific and full-service carriers such as Philippine Airlines, all accessible through Kiwi.com’s transparent platform.

The airport is well-connected with public transport options such as taxis or buses, making your commute straightforward. Consider the Kiwi Guarantee to ensure a hassle-free experience with perks like automatic check-in and disruption protection.
