ILOILO CITY | Getting To Know Iloilo On Foot

Went to Iloilo City without any definite itinerary. Good thing I was travelling with a blogger friend who invited me to join his trip when one of our other friend could not join him. He came in prepared with his own well-planned itinerary which I was glad that he did. Here is a quick and useful travel guide around Iloilo City:

The Iloilo International Airport serves the general area of the city and it’s neighboring towns, and cities as the regional hub of Western Visayas. It is accessible by air, sea, and land travel.

You can find comfortable accommodations at Iloilo City. Around January though, if you have plans to travel during the city fiesta, I suggest that book 2-3 months ahead because available accommodation can run out and finding a place to stay would be very difficult. You can try book online, or find you’re preferred accommodation and directly book with them.
