Audio Guide of Architour Tour in Vic

As it is an architectural route through the historic center, you can do it on your own 24 hours a day. If you are looking for official guided visits, check with the Tourist Office, generally open from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., located in Plaça del Pes.

The walking route, admiring the facades and urban layout, is completely free. However, entering specific monuments or hiring an official guide usually costs around €5 to €8; check current rates at Vic Tourism.

To enjoy the route at a relaxed pace and appreciate the architectural details, we recommend setting aside between 1.5 and 2 hours. This will allow you to walk without rushing from the Roman Temple to the Cathedral and the old town.

It is a unique route that condenses centuries of history, blending the 2nd-century Roman Temple, Romanesque, Gothic, and Catalan Modernisme within just a few meters. It is a masterclass in art history in the open air.

Spring and autumn are ideal thanks to the mild weather; try to visit on a Tuesday or Saturday morning to coincide with the lively market in Plaça Major. The evening light also beautifully highlights the stone of the old buildings.

The center of Vic is mostly pedestrianized and flat, which makes getting around by wheelchair fairly easy. Keep in mind that some areas of the old town have cobbled paving that can be somewhat uneven.

Right next to the route you will find the Episcopal Museum of Vic (MEV), a world-class treasure of medieval art. Do not miss the Romanesque bridge of Queralt and the historic tanneries either.

Wear very comfortable shoes for walking on cobblestones and download a quality audio guide so you can understand what you are seeing without relying on groups. And of course, take the opportunity to buy an authentic Vic cured sausage from the local shops along the way.
