Known as the mini - Amsterdam of Cebu, Sirao Flower Garden is one of the most visited newest attractions in the City. A huge part of the Garden is blooming with Celosia flowers which comes in yellow, fuchsia, and orange; and is surprisingly creates a surreal landscape, perfect for your muni-muni moments and millennial would go gaga over flooding their SNS with pictures.

Tips: 
🔹BEST TIME to go here is on BER-months, flowers were in full bloom but nonetheless to say the place is worth a visit even if there are some parts that was empty because they just had their harvest season.

🔹 BEST to go here is every weekday in the morning to avoid the sea of crowd. Kindly note that if you come here late in the afternoon, it would be hard for your travel to drive due to fogs. So, better come here in the morning so you have lots of time to enjoy the beauty of this place has offer. 

🔹 If you go here now Summer month, make sure to bring some heat protector such as shades, hat, scarfs etc. because it was so hot. Trust me! 😅 
🔹 Most importantly RESPECT other tourist by avoiding loud voices and too much goofing around. 
🔹 and lastly, PROTECT Mother Nature and the place please! NO LITTERING around 😉
