Tops Lookout

Tops Lookout is a fortress-shaped observation point on an elevated hilltop in Busay overlooking the city, Mactan Island, and distant mountain ranges. The structure features multiple viewing platforms positioned to take in different directions.

The site developed from an undeveloped hilltop into a structured tourist destination during the latter half of the twentieth century. This transformation responded to the city's growing need for visitor attractions as it expanded.

The site attracts couples seeking sunset moments together, making it a favored gathering spot for romantic occasions. Many visit on weekends and holidays to share the views with family and friends.

You can reach the site by jeepney to Busay followed by a motorcycle taxi ride, with paths clearly marked throughout. It helps to arrive early to avoid crowds and capture the best light for photos.

The circular architecture was designed so visitors can observe both sunrise and sunset during the same visit from different platforms. This dual opportunity makes it rare for photographers seeking to capture both lighting moments.
