Iloilo is one of the easily accessible provinces in the country because it can be reached by both domestic and international flights (Hong Kong and Singapore) going to the Iloilo International Airport.
There are also ferries traveling to Iloilo through the roll-on-roll-off (RoRo) routes coming from major cities in the Philippines. Its location in the heart of Visayas also makes it accessible from neighboring destinations like Boracay, Guimaras, Bacolod, and Cebu. Here are your options on how to go to Iloilo:
You have a number of options when traveling around Iloilo City’s tourist spots and other attractions or destinations outside the city proper. When exploring the city, the primary mode of transportation is the jeepney and taxicabs. For shorter distances, you can ride tricycles or pedicabs.
For longer distances like traveling outside of the city, there are buses and vans. Car and van rentals are also available within the city, which you can travel in the province or other places in the Panay Island where Iloilo is a part of.
Iloilo City has seen massive development in recent years and along with it came a number of hotels catering to various types of travelers. From hotels for every budget, backpacker hostels, and vacation rentals, you have plenty of options for your home away from home in Iloilo.
Choosing the location of your accommodation is also crucial since it will be a factor in how easy or hard your commute will be to tourist spots or terminals.
