When to visit

The best time to visit Iloilo is during the dry season, which typically falls between November and April. The weather is sunny and perfect for exploring the beaches and outdoor attractions. However, if you want to experience the famous Dinagyang Festival, held every January, be prepared for large crowds and higher accommodation prices.

Getting around

Getting around Iloilo is easy with various transportation options available. Visitors can take tricycles, jeepneys, and taxis to navigate the city and its surrounding areas. Renting a car or scooter is also a convenient way to explore the province at your own pace.

Traveller tips

Make sure to try the local delicacies such as La Paz Batchoy and fresh seafood dishes. It's advisable to carry cash as some establishments may not accept credit cards. Be respectful of the local customs and traditions, especially when visiting religious sites. Stay hydrated and wear sunscreen to protect yourself from the tropical sun. Lastly, learn a few basic phrases in the local language, Hiligaynon, to communicate with the locals more effectively.
