Vigan, Philippines

Vigan, a city which fuse classic and pretty; it's about 2hrs bus trip south to Laoag.

Going to Vigan, you can take any bus to Laoag from Manila, Baguio; or the buses to Manila from Laoag. The transportation to Vigan is frequently, even at night time.























You must be here during night time. The night Vigan street is so beautiful; i arrived Vigan at midnight, the street is quiet, nobody was on the street beside me, and no tricycles, no cars, no scroungers, you can walk along the street and enjoy the time here.





































The hotels in Vigan are quite expensive than Laoag. I stayed at La Feliza Tourist Inn, just behind the Vigan Cathedral; a room with only cool shower room cost me P900. The price of some well-known hotels are not so fair to their room quality.














In daytime, Vigan is not as much pretty as in night time. Lots of tricycles, cars, carriages on any streets in this city, streets are so crowded and the air is so polluted. The tour spots are mostly in the city, and walking around those places are enough. If u would go Hidden Garden and Zoo, you have to hire a carriage for P150~200 a hour; you might enjoy the way to these two spots.
