Ilocos Norte Provincial Capitol

Ilocos Norte is the perfect place for those seeking unique adventures as well as heritage tours for their holidays. With its picturesque coasts, well-preserved structures and awesome modern wonders – Ilocos Norte should be one of the destinations that you shouldn’t miss.

I have written 15 posts for the last mont about Ilocos Norte- that is how interesting this place is with many captivating sights to drop by. I have written this post to sort of give you a summary and quick links to those posts which are very helpful if you are planning to visit the province of Ilocos Norte.

Getting there

The fastest way to Ilocos Norte is taking an hour flight from Manila to the Laoag International Airport. If you want to save money, you can take a 12-hour bus trip from Metro Manila. We preferred to take the bus to see different provinces and views along the way like La Union and Tarlac. We took the Farinas bus going to Batac City where we began our trip and going back to Manila, we took the Partras bus in Vigan City.

Accommodation

Laoag City which is the capital of the province has plenty of accommodation choices while in Ilocos Norte. Based on our travel, I can only suggest two accommodations in Ilocos Northe which I have stayed and visited as well.
