Vigan in February

December through April delivers perfect weather — sunny days around 28°C and cool evenings for strolling cobblestones. January brings the Longganisa Festival, when the entire city smells like garlic and pork. But crowds multiply during this time. May through October means rain, humidity, and fewer tourists. Here's the trade-off: you'll have heritage houses to yourself, but afternoon downpours turn cobblestones slippery. The shoulder months of November and early May offer the sweet spot — good weather without peak season prices. Avoid Holy Week in March when Filipino families descend en masse for vacations.
