Ilocos Sur is home to the recently named "New7Wonders Cities of the World" - Vigan City. That's enough reason for me to visit the province. A little surprise during my trip was the celebration of Vigan of its Longganisa Festival, which made my visit there more colorful! So without further ado, here are the Top Things to Do that I recommend to everyone planning to go to Ilocos Sur, Philippines!

The
biggest selling point of Ilocos Sur tourism is its heritage village with its
center located at Calle Crisologo. It is a cobble-stoned street, lined with
Spanish Era ancestral houses (with ancient tile roofs, massive hardwood
floorings, balustrades and azoteas in varying Spanish, Mexican, and Chinese
architectural styles), which led to Vigan's inscription in the list of UNESCO
World Heritage Sites.
