    Getting There

    Public Jeepney

    From your current location in Cebu City, look for a nearby jeepney terminal. Take a jeepney heading towards 'Busay' or 'Tops'. Make sure to ask the driver if they go to 'Tops' to confirm. The fare is usually around PHP 10-15. Once you arrive at the Busay area, inform the driver to drop you off at the 'Tops' junction. From there, you will need to walk approximately 10-15 minutes uphill along Cebu Tops Rd to reach the entrance of TOPS Cebu.

    Motorcycle Taxi (Habal-Habal)

    You can also opt for a motorcycle taxi known as 'Habal-Habal'. Use a ride-hailing app to book a ride from your location to TOPS Cebu. The drivers are familiar with the area and will take you directly to the entrance. Prices may vary but expect to pay around PHP 150-300 depending on your pickup location. This is a faster option if you're carrying luggage or want to avoid the walk.

    Walking

    If you are close to the base of Cebu Tops Rd, you can walk to the location. Start at the nearest landmark or junction you can identify, such as the 'Busay Park'. From there, walk up Cebu Tops Rd, which is a well-marked road that leads directly to TOPS Cebu. The walk is scenic but can be steep, so wear comfortable shoes and stay hydrated.
