Vigan in February
Great time to visit
Still prime time for visiting, with the added bonus of the Longganisa Festival. Food scene is at its most vibrant, but hotel prices reflect peak demand.
Weather
February continues the dry spell with slightly warmer days but still comfortable nights. The northeast monsoon keeps humidity low and brings gentle breezes through the heritage district. Expect wall-to-wall sunshine.

All Months
December through April delivers perfect weather — sunny days around 28°C and cool evenings for strolling cobblestones. January brings the Longganisa Festival, when the entire city smells like garlic and pork. But crowds multiply during this time. May through October means rain, humidity, and fewer tourists. Here's the trade-off: you'll have heritage houses to yourself, but afternoon downpours turn cobblestones slippery. The shoulder months of November and early May offer the sweet spot — good weather without peak season prices. Avoid Holy Week in March when Filipino families descend en masse for vacations.
