By air

A secondary airport called Mindoro Airport is located at Brgy. Mindoro. It has one asphalted runway, 900 meters long and 30 meters wide. At present, only chartered and private planes use it. The airport is a sleeping asset of the municipality for it does not, in any way, generate revenue. Plans have been made for the expansion and commercialization of said airport to attract tourist and to enlighten the boredom of coming to Vigan from Manila and some other parts of the Philippines.

Archbishop's Residence

Located next to the Vigan Cathedral, it is the only Archbishop's Residence still in use that was built during the Spanish Era.

Father Jose Burgos' Residence

Located almost behind the Provincial Capitol. The birthplace of Father Jose Burgos, one of the three martyred Filipino priests at Bagumbayan (GOMBURZA).

Plaza Burgos

Vigan Empanadaan

A reserved location where visitors can sample Vigan's famous empanada; as well as sinanglao (traditional hotpot made of beef innards). Located at the eastern part of Plaza Burgos.

Baluarte

A mini-zoo located in Salindeg where visitors can see a variety of animals (including tigers and ostriches). It is also a popular venue for special events such as seminars and conferences.

Hidden Garden

Located in Bulala (a barrio known for its making of bricks, pots, and other objects made of clay), it is a wonderland of greenery, with a mini-snack bar nestled somewhere in the middle.

Vigan Heritage Village

Also known as the Mestizo District, it is what Vigan City is known for--streets lined with Spanish Era houses and cobble-stoned streets, which led to Vigan's inscription in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Tourists can buy souvenirs or even ride a calesa (horse-drawn buggy). The Heritage Village centers on two streets: Plaridel Street and (mostly) Mena Crisologo Street.

Crisologo Museum
