City Museum of Cagayan De Oro

City Museum of Cagayan De Oro was part of my 3-in-1 short/few-hour city tour (It's a few steps away from ST. Augustine Cathedral and Gaston Park).

The museum is inside this capsule-like building.

 

 

 

 

 

 

First floor – visitors will learn more about CDO's History (Battle/s)

 

Second floor: It houses some antique stuff plus photos of prominent people in 1960s. Locals of CDO are very proud of these respected people. Some of the streets within the city are actually named after those people in the pictures (Borja, Neri)

The museum is a three-story building, but the third floor looks a bit spooky when I first saw it, especially when a beauty queen's old gown (1960s) is the first thing that you'll see when you reach 3^rd floor.

This one's quite inspiring.

Short City Tour – Cagayan De Oro's 3-in-1 Tourist Spot

I found lots of public utility jeepneys and tricycles on the street outside our hotel (we stayed at the D'Budgetel along Corrales Extension, fronting Capitol Unversity) but since I wasn't familiar with the place yet, I decided to take a cab and headed off to a church written on my list. Fare's around 60 pesos.

While still inside the cab, I found this Museum of Cagayan De Oro signage. I was glad to discover that the church's just few steps away from that museum.

Gaston Park 

The park is known for its beautiful fountain. However, there's a construction going on when I went there. I didn't have the chance to see the real beauty of this place.

 

My initial city tour ended at exactly 12noon. The eceptionist at D'Budgetel told me I could have an early check-in without any additional charge. :)
