Tops Lookout

Perched atop a hill overlooking the entire city of Cebu is this quaintly beautiful viewing deck, popularly known as TOPS. Rising 2500 ft above sea level, Tops is located in the Northern part of the city in the town of Busay, a short 30-minute drive from downtown Cebu. It affords visitors and sightseers a breathtaking, postcard-perfect view of the city’s skyline, the modern, tropic island of Mactan and Bohol province’s majestic mountains. In the early evening when the sun sets in all its glory, Tops becomes perfect for love-crazy newlyweds, honeymooners hiding from relatives and friends and romantic lovers who might feel like Anthony and Cleopatra reigning over Egypt.

For some old-fashioned family-bonding, the place has cozy spots for picnics or even some nature-friendly camp sites where you can pitch your tent if you decide to stay overnight. Bring some light sweaters though as the night mountain air could be a bit chilly.
