EXPERIENCE A HIGHER STANDARD
Its long history is still present in the streets and squares of the historic center, living in harmony with the new urban growth, which shows the energy of a cosmopolitan city, expressed through the echo of the several fairs and markets that are being celebrated, the consolidation of the Univeristat de Vic (University of Vic) or the growth of industrial areas.
Vic is a rich city in contrasts, a place where tradition and modernity have managed to coexist in a balanced way. The visitor can perfectly feel the heritage of rural life just next to a varied offer of most modern places and facilities. A perfect place to enjoy the quietness of a small city, but also offering the visitor a great deal of playful activities.
The richness of its heritage is clearly confirmed by the quality of the museums, files and historic buildings the visitor can find throughout the city, toghether with the great number of associations dedicated to many and any kind of purposes. The result, a rich city concerned about offering the visitor a civic, cultural and artistic experience. The economic structure is mainly based on the commercial sector, industry and services.
The numerous shops in Vic offer a considerable grade of specialization and attractiveness. The industrial sector is characterized by its diversification, but largely dedicated to agribusiness, leather and metallurgy. As a service center, the city offers a varied range of infrastructure facilities, as well as administrative, health, educational and social services.
Vic is also the Episcopal capital of the region of Osona, taking active part of a network of cities that make up the backbone of the Catalan territory. The new roads and the continuous improvement of those already existing have placed the city in a privileged situation to meet the new demands of society and preserve its essence and its distinctive character.
