To be honest, regardless of place, it will never be 100% safe but in my experience, I usually go home late as a college student and thankfully I haven't experienced the worst yet. Although the routes I take are already familiar to me and going to crowded places is definitely safer than waiting in a dark alley.

Located in the heart of the Philippines, Cebu is a tropical paradise known for its pristine beaches and vibrant marine life. Known as the "Queen City of the South," it offers a fascinating amalgam of cultural heritage and modern development. Famed for crystal-clear turquoise waters, breathtaking diving sites, such as the Mactan Island, and the historic Magellan's Cross, Cebu is a vibrant mix of nature, history, and local cuisine. Enjoy the Whale Shark diving in Oslob or take a walk through centuries-old buildings in Cebu's downtown area. Feast on Cebu’s world-famous Lechon, or stroll through the lively markets offering local delicacies and crafts. Whether you're a history enthusiast, nature lover, or a foodie, Cebu is sure to captivate you with its irresistible charm.

Cebu had very fun activities but would only recommend to stay in Cebu for about 3-5 days. There are a few very nice activities such as whale shark snorkeling, canyoneering, swim with turtles and big school of sardines, visiting waterfalls, and exploring Cebu city. Me and my friend did all of them, but only needed about 3-4 days for it. Then there weren’t that much to do. We stayed in Cebu city and Moalboal.
