5.0 based on 149 reviews
The Episcopal Museum of Vic (MEV), founded in 1891, houses a magnificent collection of medieval art with paintings and sculpture from the Catalan Romanesque and Gothic periods. The collections of precious metals, textiles, wrought ironwork, glass and ceramics offer a comprehensive journey through the history of liturgical and decorative art in Catalonia. This highly prized collection, including over 29,000 pieces, is exhibited in a new building on a site adjoining the cathedral, equipped with state-of-the-art exhibition facilities. Due to the exceptional interest of the museum's collections, in 2001 the museum was declared a museum of national interest by the Government of Catalonia.

This museum was probably the best thing we saw on our entire three week trip. First we viewed an excellent collection of early ivories and then the section with all the medieval art. It is in such good condition! There are painted panels, sculptures, and even a wooden deposition group! We used the audio tour but the further you get away from the main desk the more difficult it is to get reception. The person staffing the front desk was very helpful and added to our excellent opinion of the museum.

Wine Tasting in Oller del Mas, a X Century (964 A.D) castle surrounded by gorgeous fields with jaw dropping views. A very intense experience in nature and the feeling of the past.

Oller del Mas is a winery located in the surroundings of Manresa, included in Pla de Bages wine region, it is in Central Catalonia. You can visit (in a guided visit) this winery, which is in a castle built in 10th Century and it always belong to the same family. In fact, in the visit you can learn a lot about the history of the place and the region and how they do wine in the place. Also you can see wonderful views of the surroundings and Montserrat, especially from the tower. Also, you can go to the vineyards and you can enter to the main building, where you will see some especial rooms of the castle, a room to taste wines, the shop and barrel room. At the end of the guided visit, you can taste teo different wines: a white one and a red one. The last wine, it is not possible to buy in the shops, because it is an experimental wine, so it is very recommendable to taste it. The staff was very friendly. In fact, you can see that she enjoy a lot with his job and the full complex. Wonderful!

El Aeri de Montserrat es mucho más que un teleférico. Es una experiencia única para descubrir Montserrat desde el cielo, disfrutando de una excelente panorámica de la montaña mágica.

If you haven't got the height phobia, then I wouldn't be able to think of a better way to go up to Montserrat rather than to travel by the Aeri cable car. The cable ride only takes 5 minutes to climb up and down the mountain. The slope isn't too deep as the incline's angel is 45%. Despite there is only 1 seat inside, it's totally worth it as it offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the serrated mountains in Montserrat, which something you won't be able to see if you take the Cremallera funicular! Each cable car could hold a maximum of 35 people but most of the time it would leave in every 15 minutes anyway. A return ticket cost €11.50 for an adult and €6.00 for a children, it runs between 09:40 - 17:15 or 19:00 daily, depending on the time of the season and the weather. Finally, Aeri Montserrat is safe as I searched online and couldn't find that it has any accident since it first opened in 1930. I really enjoyed the rides, so I hope you will too! Highly recommended!

If you look at the website it seems to imply that access to the castle is only on official guided tours at pre-booked times. This isn’t entirely accurate - the official guided tours get you access to a couple of extra places in the castle. The rest of it is entirely free to access. Part of the castle is a Parador, and the café run by them at the very top is very nice - good service and good food. The castle is pretty huge, and bits of it are in better repair than others. There are very few places you can’t go, even if there are warning signs which don’t bar you from entry, just telling you to be extra careful. If you walk up from the town, it’s a brisk climb, but well worth it. Glad we did it.

The Roman Temple is remarkable in that It was built in the 1st Century A.D.!! The Temple is the only surviving building of the city of Auso, as Vic was called in Roman times, and gives us today an historic reconstructions of how the temple would have looked.

It is the third visit to Vic in a period of four months. Our last visit was today and this time we were just today. We didn't know before hand there is was a Mercado Medieval event in the town. It was a really different event worth to see. It was a week day but everybody were in the streets enjoying themselves. Local artisans were trying to market their products and people. People in medieval cloths werechanting and dancing in the Vic street. Major square was worth to see. It is probably one of the best time to visit Vic.
