Mandaue is a city in the Philippines, part of Metro Cebu. Mandaue is located just north of Cebu City and, like that city, it is on Cebu Island. Just off the coast opposite Mandaue is Mactan Island with the city of Lapu-Lapu on it. From Mandaue two bridges lead to Lapu-Lapu and several good (if sometimes jammed) roads go to Cebu.

10.33953|123.94626|height=470|width=470}} Mandaue is the least glamorous and least touristed of the three cities that make up the core of Metro Cebu, though it has quite a few resident foreigners because its housing costs are lower.

Cebu City is the main center, with better shopping and a wider range of hotels and restaurants, and Lapu-Lapu has the airport and quite a few high-end resorts and condos. Mandaue is mostly residential and industrial; quite a few people live there and commute to work in Cebu.

On the other hand, Mandaue has over 350,000 people, so it does have all the services one might expect in a medium-sized city anywhere. There are even a few resorts along its coast.

Climate & Weather

Like the rest of the Philippines, Mandaue has a tropical climate. It has considerable risk of typhoons, though not as much as some other areas of the nation. See Metro_Cebu#Climate for more detail.

Travel to Mandaue

The main airport of the region is Mactan-Cebu International Airport (IATA Flight Code: CEB) in Lapu-Lapu, and the main port is in Cebu City. Mandaue is easily reached by bus, taxi or jeepney from either.

Metro Cebu has two major long-distance bus terminals and the north terminal in Mandaue and south terminal in Cebu City.

Cebu North Bus Terminal Subangdaku 10.318385, 123.925184 There are 3 bus companies that ride to/from Maya with ferry connection to/from Malapascua: Ceres, Cebu AutoBus and Rough Riders. Also to Hagnaya, San Remigio (Cebu).
