If you have heard of Dangwa, the largest flower market in Manila, this must be Cebu’s version of it. Located at Magallanes Street, which is a stone’s throw away from Carbon Market and just 5 to10 minutes walk away from Santo Niño Church, the flower stalls right across University of San Jose-Recoletos are impossible not to spot.

There are many flower vendors offering a wide variety of local and imported flowers in Freedom Park Market. Flower arrangements for Valentine’s Day range from PhP500 to PhP9,000, depending on the variety and number of flowers. The best part of doing your flower shopping spree here is that you can haggle with the vendors.

If you want to go to Freedom Park market, ride a jeepney marked 04B, 04C, 17B or 17C. Jeepneys in Cebu City have alpha-numeric route codes to indicate the specific areas of their itinerary. Their route is usually displayed at the top part of a jeepney’s masthead.
