Sirao Garden
About Sirao Garden
Located in the high-altitude barangay of Sirao along the slopes of Cebu City, Sirao Garden is a terraced hillside farm known for its vibrant flower fields, particularly brightly colored celosias. Often nicknamed 'Little Amsterdam,' the multi-tiered property combines rows of native and ornamental blooms with scenic mountain views and whimsical photo backdrops like windmills, oversized hands, and decorative structures. It offers a cool mountain climate and a scenic retreat roughly 17 kilometers north of the city center.
What to expect
Visitors walk along paved pathways and stone stairs winding through sloping garden beds filled with yellow, orange, and red celosias, sunflowers, and various seasonal blooms. Replicas of Dutch windmills, wooden arches, colorful text displays, and decorative stepping stones provide framed photo opportunities set against panoramic views of the surrounding green hills.
The standout feature is the giant hand structure projecting out over the valley slope, where guests step onto its palm for elevated backdrop photos. Adjacent sections include small swimming pools, shaded pavilions, and designated rest areas overlooking the countryside.
A typical visit takes around 1 to 2 hours to explore all viewing levels and photo platforms. The site suits casual sightseers, families, and photography enthusiasts seeking scenic mountain vistas near the city.

Know before you go
Admission is around ₱100 per person, though rates should be confirmed locally as prices may change. Operating hours are generally from around 6:00 AM or 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily. The site involves steep hillside staircases, narrow pathways, and unpaved slopes, requiring comfortable walking shoes and basic mobility.
Crowds are heaviest on weekends and holidays, so arriving early in the morning offers cooler weather and shorter lines at popular photo props. Bring sun protection, water, and cash, as credit cards are not accepted. Watch your step near terraced drops and slippery tiles after rain.
