We’ve always known Vigan as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but its recent recognition as one of the New 7 Wonders Cities gave the Ilocos Sur capital another tourism boom.
Whether traveling solo or with a group, exploring will never be dull in Vigan and nearby towns. Learn history through visiting museums and strolling along the historic Calle Crisologo. If you’re interested in arts and crafts, experience pottery-making and appreciate old-school loom weaving. If you’re not too afraid of heights, climb the Bantay Bell Tower and check out the antique bells. When you get hungry and you want a relaxing ambience, have a food and nature trip at Lilong and Lilang Restaurant inside the Hidden Garden. You may also grab their famous empanada at Plaza Burgos or CJ’s Empanada and Okoy.
Vigan will really exhaust you, in a good way, of course. Good thing is that local hotel owners are addressing the need for more lodgings and accommodations, so visitors can feel at home while in the region. I got to experience more of Ilocano hospitality while making Metro Vigan Fiesta Garden Hotel my home for my 4-day trip in Ilocos. The hotel is situated in Guimod, Bantay, Ilocos Sur, 10-15 minutes away from Vigan town proper.
