Lapu-Lapu City was named after the great chieftain of Mactan who defeated the Portuguese colonizer, Ferdinand Magellan, during the 1500s. The city is located on Mactan Island and is famous for its white-sand beaches, rich heritage, historic sites, and vibrant festivals. Some must-visit destinations within the city include the iconic Lapu-Lapu Shrine, Alegre Guitar Factory, and Maribagini Park, among others. Sea lovers can immerse themselves in never-ending water adventures such as snorkeling, scuba diving, and parasailing. Island hopping is also a famous activity here, which is probably one of the reasons why many travelers flock to the city.
