Vic Tourist Office

The Vic tourist office is on Plaça del Pes, in the Llotja del Blat, inside the town hall building, right in the historic centre, near the Main Square. It is the natural starting point for getting to know the old town: the scheduled guided visits leave from here and audioguides to tour it independently are rented here.

Hours and contact

According to Vic Turisme, the office opens:

• October to March: Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 14:00 and from 16:00 to 18:00.
• April to September: Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 14:00 and from 16:00 to 19:00.
• Saturdays: from 9:00 to 19:00, without a midday break.
• Sundays and public holidays: from 10:00 to 14:00.

It closes on 25 and 26 December and on 1 and 6 January. You can reach it on 93 886 20 91 and at [email protected]. Outside opening hours, it has an outdoor information screen that works 24 hours a day.

Guided visits

The office organises several visits around the historic centre, all leaving from the office itself or booked through it:

• Descobrir Vic: Saturdays at 17:00, two hours. €8, reduced €4, free for under-10s.
• Experiència Vicpuntzero: Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays at 12:00, an hour and a half. €6, reduced €4. The guide speaks Catalan, and there is an audioguide in Spanish, French and English using your own phone and headphones.
• Sunday visit: from October to May, at 11:30, with a different theme each month. €5.

Tickets are bought at the office or at vicpuntzero.cat. For groups who request it in advance, sign-language interpretation is available.

Audioguides and other services

The audioguide offers a route around the centre of about 90 minutes, in Catalan, Spanish, French and English, with two descriptive channels in Catalan and Spanish for people with visual impairments. The website does not publish its price. The office also sells publications and souvenirs of Vic and tickets for the Teatre Atlàntida, has public toilets and a small exhibition room. The street map can be downloaded from the website, and there is a city app for mobile phones.

What to see nearby

From Plaça del Pes you are a few minutes from the Sant Pere cathedral, with the Sert murals, and from the MEV, the medieval art museum, which closes on Mondays. If you come on a Tuesday or Saturday morning, the Main Square market fills the square with stalls. For lunch nearby, El Jardinet is a few steps away.

If you arrive by train from Barcelona, the Vic station is the entry point; if you come by car, the tourist website lists a dozen free car parks around the centre and several paid ones open 24 hours, including the one at the Main Square, on the Rambla Davallades.
