Visit first the Department of Tourism Iloilo branch so they can provide you lists of places to be visited while in Iloilo.Stay in Megaworld area while in the city so you will enjoy your visit.Up North of the province you will see white sand beach resort in the town of Carles.Then from there you might want to visit Sicogon island and Isla de Gigantes.The island of Guimaras is also worth visiting just 20 mins by boat from Iloilo Coty.

"Iloilo" came from its old name "Irong-Irong" which means Nose ("irong" is an Ilonggo word for nose), because if you see on the map, the Iloilo province is shaped like a nose. I came from Iloilo, hope you will love the vibes of the City of Love, my beloved home. Its like a develop city minus the excessive traffic. 20 mins you can easily explore the countryside which is very refreshing.

Its latest achievements worthy of pride for every Filipino - as of October 31, 2023, it has been declared by the UNESCO as UNESCO CREATIVE CITY FOR GASTRONOMY and is at present the first and only city in the Philippines to be declared as such. ILOILO is also the ASEAN CLEAN CITY TOURISM AWARDEE FOR 2020-2022.

Thanks for the video tour, Zane. I will be making Iloilo my new home come February '24 - coming over for the first time from Pensacola. I'll initially be staying for the month at One Spatial condos (pictured in the background @ the 30:15 mark in the video just before you 'availed' the Carpenter's Bridge, lol). Thanks for the walking tour because as you likely know Google's streetview and satellite view is around 7-8 years outdated. Satellite shows back when they were just breaking ground on the condo I mentioned and so that was 2017. It's great to get a current idea of how things are looking today. It was indeed heart-warming to experience the consistently sweet reception you received from so many locals during your first day there.
