This park deserves to be on this list because it is one of the most renowned places in the city. The park is open for free so anyone can go there any time of the day. It’s also open daily so you don’t have to worry about the time. Hanging out in the late afternoon until the early night is recommended so you won’t have to deal with the hot weather.

Plaza Independencia

This place is like the Fuente Osmeña Circle as it gives the same feeling and vibe. Benches are spread out all over the park, making it more convenient for tourists like you. This means you don’t actually need to bring anything with you when touring around. Aside from being a park, this destination is historical as well and its earlier version can be traced back in the 1600s.
