Tops Lookout

11:12 PM Posted by Unknown , No comments
I found myself winding the roads of Mt. Busay in Cebu. Going to Tops lookout is an adventure itself. Winding the steep road of the mountain is very exciting. With periodic unpredictable stops making it more and more dangerous for other kind of transport. But, danger is fun!


Tops lookout is a great avenue to appreciate the setting Cebuano sun. This very high elevated landscape atop Mount Busay oversees most parts of Cebu as Mandaue City, Mactan, Cebu City and even the sea coasts of Bohol.

For Php 100 you can enjoy an unlimited time to spend in "Tops." There is a lot things to do to enjoy while in "Tops." You can drink beer and have picnic on their unique lawn. Or, you can just sit near the deck and appreciate the beauty what's laid for you to see.


Tops Lookout is a fortress-like, modernist structure 10 km. from downtown Cebu. The best hour to spend time in "Tops" is in the late afternoon for you to enjoy the sunset. Early afternoon could not be a nice choice because of the high burning sun.

How To Get There: 

If you do not have any relative to lend a car on your tour while in Cebu and you want to visit tops you may want to try this 2 options.

  1. Rent a Taxi for 800 to 1000 back n' forth "Tops." This is the easiest way to get to "Tops" for you need not transfer to another transport and will not worry on how to get back to metro downtown.
  2. If you prefer a more challenging and adventurous trip going to "Tops," you may want to take a longer way. Take Jeepney to Lahug along Osmena Boulevard and be dropped off at JY Square Mall at Lahug. From there, usually in the parking lot, negotiate a rent-able Motorcycle. Usually they would ask for Php100-150 roundtrip.
The last and important thing to do going to "Tops" is Enjoy!
