Calle Crisologo

You can visit this place anytime of the day but the best visit time would be night time as restaurants are mostly open during night time and visitors coming from different places frequented this place. It is a long stretch street that you can take a walk with loved ones and see their variety of stores where souvenirs or items that you can buy. You can visit their province for a day tour just to take photos considering its instagramable place and known for its historical value.

We spent 2 days exploring Calle Crisologo, and it remains a highlight of our Vigan trip. My family absolutely loved walking through the streets; the cobblestones and old brick houses truly make you feel like you’ve been transported back to the Spanish colonial era. Seeing the kalesas move around adds a wonderful, authentic touch to the atmosphere. ​However, we did notice that the high number of vendors and stalls can sometimes overshadow the architectural beauty of the street. Only a few blocks seem to have maintained that pristine, old-world look without too much clutter. ​Pro-tip for drivers: Parking can be a challenge, but if you're patient, you can usually find a spot around the corners of the parallel streets. Despite the crowds, we still love this place and its unique charm!

A cool place to walk around—old houses, cobblestone streets, and tons of spots to take photos. It gets crowded, but that’s part of the charm. There are souvenir shops, snacks, and carriages passing by, so there’s always something going on. If you’re in Vigan, you’ll definitely want to drop by. It’s simple, chill, and a nice place to experience a bit of history without trying too hard.

This is a great place to learn about the culture and history of Vigan. You get to meet and speak with the locals. You can purchase locally made products and sample their local delicacies. You also get to enjoy walking theough the cobbled stone street marvelling at the Spanish colonial era.

Wonderful place to visit if you want to experience the feeling of Spanish colonial times. The cobblestone streets and historic Spanish houses create a truly immersive atmosphere. While the kalesas (horse-drawn carriages) add to the charm, it was hard not to feel bad for the horses, who looked tired. I sincerely hope they are well cared for after working all day. I chose not to ride one.

This place is so dreamy! I will never get tired of visiting Calle Crisologo. There are some renovations ongoing which is a good thing. I hope they also develop the adjacent streets so that people will not be cramped in just one street. A tour is also nice if only available for all tourists. Never let the history for granted.

Very underwhelming. Don’t focus on Calle Crisologo alone, there are hole-in-the-wall places in adjacent and congruent streets. More “estetik” spots for photos. Calle Crisologo can be reeeeally crowded esp on weekends and holidays. Hard to take good photos with kalesa stags.

Nestled in the heart of Vigan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Calle Crisologo stands as a testament to the city’s rich cultural heritage and historical significance. Recently, I had the pleasure of wandering through this iconic street, and it was an experience that truly transported me back in time. As I walked along the quaint cobblestone streets, I was enchante by the beautiful Spanish colonial-era buildings that line the road. Every ancestral home is a testament to the era's artistry, with intricate designs and bright colors that reflects the craftsmanship of the past. The mood is brimming with the sounds of local vendors and artisans who add a festive zest to the nostalgic atmosphere. Calle Crisologo offers more than just a glimpse into the past; it provides an authentic experience for the tourists. My visit to Calle Crisologo was a wonderful ride through the past,replete with charm and cultural heritage. It's an experience where past blends smoothly with the present, making it a true gem in the heart of the Philippines.

I've been planning to visit this place for years...and upon seeing it in all it's splendor one rainy May evening, a tear fell. Fall in love, take in the historical value, and avail of the good food that Vigan has to offer. And don't forget to take that calesa ride.

this place is very historic. every street you turn to, it'll bring you back to the old days. Every structure of the building surrounding you makes you feel like you were part of the history. i love the vibes, the night life, and the scenery. it's vibrant and full of interesting stuff!
