Tops Lookout, also known as 'Tops,' is a popular observation deck located in the mountains of Busay, Cebu City, Philippines. It offers a spectacular panoramic view of Cebu City and the surrounding islands, including Mactan Island and Bohol on clear days. It sits high above at an altitude of approximately 600 meters above sea level, making it a perfect spot for tourists and locals to marvel at the cityscape, especially at night when the urban area shimmers with city lights. The area is characterized by its circular stone architecture, which has become a distinguishing feature. The lookout is equipped with viewing decks, benches, and tables, allowing visitors to relax and enjoy the cool mountain breeze. It provides a serene atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of the city life below. Tops Lookout is accessible by private vehicle or motorcycle taxis known locally as 'habal-habal' and is often included in Cebu City's mountain tour packages. The site also hosts a few small cafes and souvenir shops. It's an ideal spot for photography enthusiasts, romantic couples, and anyone looking to enjoy a scenic sunset or a laid-back evening.
