Fairly safe because I went to an urban area. Fewer people and less traffic when you go in the middle of the day between 10 am to 2 pm. I stayed at an air bnb in Lapulapu area and it was 1,500 per night. It has a pool area and for the transportation, you can get by with grab taxi, a jeepney or when you're feeling brave like me, I use Mototaxi (motorcycle 🏍️) to get by places. So much faster and affordable. But you can rent a car too if you know how to drive which unfortunately am not. So far, lots of good restaurants everywhere and good food to eat in places like SM and Ayala.

C in Cebu stands for canyoneering! For 2-3 hrs, you must have this adventure of unlimited jumping, trekking, going with the current, seeing waterfalls. Definitely, best decision to come to Algeria in South Cebu.

If you want to stay in Cebu City, I highly recommend staying in IT Park, it's generally well lit and since a lot of people work there, it's safer than other parts of the city especially if you want to go out at night. I don't recommend going out late (10pm onwards).
