Walking
If you are already in a nearby area of Cebu, walking can be a great way to explore. Use a map or a navigation app on your phone to guide you. Just make sure to stay in well-lit areas and keep your belongings secure. Look for signs that direct you to 'Cebu' and enjoy the local scenery along the way.
