Store Your Luggage Around Cebu City With Bounce

Cebu City, located in the Philippine province of the same name, is a vibrant metropolis and one of the country’s most urbanized cities apart from its capital city, Manila. Part of the Visayas region, Cebu City is the oldest city in the Philippines and was famously discovered by Spanish explorer Ferdinand Magellan. The Spanish colonization and influence are still evident to this day, as you will easily notice from the city’s architecture and even in the names of the streets and its local dialect of Bisaya, which bears a similarity to the Spanish language.

Nicknamed the “Queen City of the South,” Cebu City is a key hub for finance, trade, and education. Furthermore, it is also one of the Philippines’ most popular tourist destinations. The city is said to have it all and is known for its historical attractions, beautiful beaches and mountains, a pulsating nightlife scene, and a dizzying number of high-quality restaurants.

To avoid any hassle, leave your things with Bounce before your visit.)

The museum was founded in 1965 and houses various religious artifacts, jewelry, statues, and other pieces that celebrate Santo Nino and the Catholic religion. (Bag policy: There are no bag restrictions, although guests’ bags may be subjected to a security check.
