I visited Cebu a few times over the past 10 years as a tourist from the USA. I've never felt unsafe in the city. If you want to take pictures, just bring a simple point and shoot camera or use your phone. I wouldn't really recommend taking a DSLR camera with you as that can attract attention. Make sure you keep your wallet deep inside your pocket and preferably in the front pockets. Also, don't wear anything that'll scream "I'm a tourist". As with any city, just mind your own businesses, be aware of your surroundings, and you'll be fine.

Cebu is an awesome city. It has lots to offer and the people are some of the friendliest people you will ever meet.

You can get robbed or have your stuff stolen even in a hotel. There are lots of people who don't care about making the place safe. Just another government who don't give an f. And the floods are terrible in some areas.

BE CAREFUL IN THIS CITY.
I lost things here and even worse, the locals told me a lot of foreigners get their gadgets stolen around this area and yet NOBODY BOTHERS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Only great part is the outskirts nature but the rest? Nothing special. Too crowded, unorganized city, reminds me of Tondo in manila. Very disappointed with this place, I've heard so many good things only to be greeted with traffic and danger.
