Why it ranks
Augustinian basilica that houses the Santo Niño de Cebu image, described on its official site as the original and oldest religious relic in the Philippines; the complex includes a museum.
Don't miss: Queue to see the Santo Niño image, then visit the basilica museum.

Good to know: Friday novena days and the Sinulog fiesta in January bring very large crowds and road closures; modest dress is expected and the museum keeps its own hours.
