Vigan is a unique environment in both its natural and man-made features. It is traversed by two river systems, namely the Govantes and Mestizo Rivers. Its tributaries flow into the Pangada River in Sta. Catalina, Caoayan River in Caoayan, Buquig River in Bantay, and Bantaoay River in San Vicente.
Unlike other municipalities with towering mountains, Vigan is mostly plains with gently rising hills on the southern portion. Most of its lands outside of the urban center or poblacion are devoted to agriculture. The coastal plains found along the western side of the city bounded by the South China Sea are predominantly settled with Mindoro Beach as its location.
Presently, there are other major areas of activities other than the two plazas, though these are still where most recreation and shopping are done. One may also go to the southern part of the city to reach the commercial area and public market. The current Public Market is a new one, as the old one (formerly the Imelda Socio-Commercial Complex), on the same site, was (also) destroyed by fire. The very first Public Market, found in the center of the business district, is now the site of new commercial buildings and the site of a tricycle-for-hire terminal.
