It's common knowledge that spending a couple of hours surrounded by trees and plants can increase your energy. If roaming around town has tired you out, Plaza Independencia is a perfect spot to relax and recharge your batteries.

When you've spent a bit of time at this recreation and green space in Downtown Cebu, why not make your way to Magellan's Cross, SM City Cebu, and SM Seaside City Cebu? They're not too far from Plaza Independencia and also popular with many tourists.
