Albay Cathedral

Albay Cathedral

Albay Cathedral is also known as the Cathedral of St. Gregory the Great, and according to its historical data, it started as a chapel built in the 1580s by Spanish missionaries. The early structure was made from local products such as wood and nipa. Then, it emerged as a stone structure in 1800. This Cathedral is one of the top tourist destinations in the province, and it was our first destination.

How to Get to Here

  • By Air: Book a direct flight to Bicol International Airport (DRP). Travel time is an hour and 20 minutes.
  • By Land: From Manila, EDSA, Cubao, or PITX, take a bus bound for Legazpi City in Albay. The travel time is 9 to 10 hours. Bus lines include  Penafrancia, Cagsawa, DLTB, and many others. 
  • By Sea: From Manila, there are bus lines that also arrange door-to-door via RoRo. On the other hand, tourists from Visayas, such as Cebu, Masbate, and Leyte Provinces, can take ferries.
