Sirao Flower Garden, known as the "Little Amsterdam" of Cebu City, is a popular destination for both tourists and locals. It is located approximately 17 kilometers north of the city proper. Here's how you can get to this colorful attraction:
Traveling by private car is the most convenient way to reach Sirao Flower Garden. You'll have the flexibility to travel at your own pace and enjoy the scenic views along the way. From the city center, drive towards JY Square Mall in Lahug. From there, head north to Busay and follow the signs leading to the garden. The drive usually takes around 30 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic.
If you're up for a bit of adventure, taking a motorcycle taxi, locally known as habal-habal, can be an exhilarating experience. You can hire a habal-habal from JY Square Mall in Lahug. It's advisable to agree on the fare before setting off, and the trip takes about 30 to 45 minutes.
Regular taxi or ride-sharing services like Grab can also take you to Sirao Flower Garden. The trip might be more costly, but it is safer and more comfortable, especially if you're not familiar with the local transportation. Make sure the driver is willing to go up the mountains since some may decline due to the distance.
For a more local experience, you can take a public bus from the Cebu City bus terminal going towards Pit-os or Talamban. Then, get off at the Pit-os terminal and hire a habal-habal to take you to the flower garden.
