Dawn and the wee hours of the morning are particularly magical times. All the souvenir shops and restaurants are closed, the street is empty save for the random sleeping kalesa driver or early morning jogger.
At this hour, you can experience a quiet Calle Crisologo with none of the hustle and bustle of tourists and shopkeepers, sidewalks stripped bare of colorful wares.
Photographers will relish this time when the light is soft. The gradually lightening sky makes for a good background and even time lapse.
