Colon Street<\/strong><\/p>\n

Colon is the oldest street in the Philippines, and is the core of downtown Cebu. Before the big malls were built, Colon was the center of commercial activities. Till this day, this street is still home to a variety of shops selling anything and everything. You can find everything from clothes, shoes, bags and accessories, gadgets, jeweler, pets, home and kitchen items, hardware items, electronics and appliances, and even car and motorcycle parts at a lower price in Colon.

Pasil Wet Market<\/strong><\/p>\n

Found in one of the oldest districts in Cebu City, the Pasil Wet Market is where you go to when you want the freshest seafood at the lowest cost, maybe for your next gathering or salo-salo. The market comes to life at the crack of dawn, from about 3 am to 6 am. A variety of newly caught fish arrives from the port and are displayed in the many stalls in the market. You can also get other seafood such as crabs, shrimps, squid, shellfish, and even seaweeds. While you\u2019re there, you might want to try the famous Nilarang, which is a local fish soup. Small, road-side eateries or karindiryas in Pasil serve this dish freshly made, hot off their giant pots.<\/p>\n

SM City Cebu<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mall culture in pretty big in the Philippines, especially in Cebu. We can\u2019t really talk about shopping in Cebu without tackling the two of the biggest malls in the island. The first one, SM City, is developed and owned by SM Prime Holdings, the country\u2019s largest shopping mall owner and developer. It\u2019s the 4th largest shopping mall in the Philippines and offers patrons a variety of shops, carrying both local and international brands. For cheap shopping, SM often has 3-day sales where every shop in the mall, excluding the restaurants, services, and grocery, would have some kind of sale rack or discount on their items. Another giant SM mall, SM Seaside, recently opened, offering more choices and shops.<\/p>\n
