The mode of transportation within the city includes jeepneys plying to and from other municipalities in Ilocos Norte as well as colorful tricycles traversing the urban area.

Of course, walking around Laoag is nor de rigeur.  One can always opt to tide one of the any horse-drawn carriages that ply the city streets.  Passengers enter these carriages though a door at the rear and not on the side.  Many visitors agree the sightseeing is made more fun if it is done in the Calesa while listening to the lively stories of the carriage driver the clip-clop of the horse's shoes on the pavement.
