Cebu City is one of the largest City in Visayas where you can find different tourist destination. When you heard the name Cebu, what usually comes in your mind? For me, it always be the Sirao Garden,10,000 roses. the Simala, Mactan Bridge and a lot more. I am not into travelling but because of my work i able to visit other places by attending Seminars =).

Today, im going to share with you my quick visit at Sirao Garden at Cebu or also they called it the Little Amsterdam of Cebu. It has a lot of beautiful and colorful flowers comes with different kinds and types.

The place is not yet fully developed but still people spend time to visit the place. Here, you can find different flowers that are capable of growing in a tropical climate. Most of the flowers can be found only in Philippines like sunflowers, roses, tulips and etc.

Sirao became the most hot topic in social media since 2015 when someone posted photos of it and it went viral. This place is located at Cebu Transcentral Highway (Busay-Sirao-Balamban). Today, the management is trying to improve and develop the place to attract more visitors.

Visiting the place you need to pay for the entrance fee which is 50 pesos, that is only for viewing, taking photos and stay at the garden. To visit the place you can enjoy the area from 6AM to 6:30PM if you are just visitors and they are allowing campers to stay from 6Pm to 6am overnight.

When we visited the place, it wasn't so crowded. There are few people in there, our group and some random pips who spend their time together with their loveones.

Best thing to do when you visit the Sirao Garden. You must have your own vehicle going there or rent a van in a group. You will have a hard time going back to the City if you will just commute. You can take taxi however, the fare is a little bit high or you can hire habal-habal for 400 back in fort.
