Cebu → Cebu City Centre: key facts

A private transfer from Cebu Airport (CEB) to Cebu City Centre costs €30 per car for 1–3 passengers and €45 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 14 km via 8; the drive takes about 25 min with clear roads, so plan on 25–35 min at busy times.

Where the driver waits: The driver waits in the public arrival area outside the arrivals hall of the terminal your flight lands at (Terminal 2 for international flights, Terminal 1 for domestic flights), after immigration, baggage claim and customs, holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.

The old centre of Cebu City around Magellan's Cross lies about 14 km from the airport by road. The drive leaves Mactan Island over one of the bridges across the Mactan Channel, either through Mandaue on the north side or over the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway in the south, and reaches the downtown streets near the port. Without traffic it takes 25 to 30 minutes, but at rush hour the bridges and Mandaue are often congested and the trip can take an hour.

Magellan's Cross, the Basilica del Santo Nino and Fort San Pedro stand within a few minutes' walk of each other in the historic district, close to Colon Street and the passenger piers. Many hotels are further north, around Fuente Osmena Circle, the Cebu Business Park with Ayala Center and Cebu IT Park in Lahug, all reached on the same transfer within a few kilometres.

Public transport instead: MyBus (SM City Cebu - Airport route) bus SM City Cebu - Mactan Cebu International Airport from Mactan Cebu International Airport (arrival level) to SM City Cebu (North Reclamation Area, Cebu City), via Plaridel Street, City Times Square and Mantawe International Drive in Mandaue, daily, every 20 minutes; check the current timetable before you travel.
