About

Hic

Features

You have a free evening. A whole Saturday. Now what? Hic gives you a plan worth living, and the people to live it with. Tonight, already decided: the piazza, the painter who worked there, the bar next door. Right opening hours, real walking distances, experiences you can book in the app. It works on the street, not just on the screen. And you are not on your own. On Hic you find the communities in your city and what they are doing this week. An evening becomes something you do together, not a list to tick off. No ten generic names from a chatbot. No two hundred saved places you never visit. One plan, and you go. The more you live, the better Hic knows you. Each plan fits you more than the last. Hic is in Milan, Lugano and more cities across Europe. For one evening, a weekend, a short trip. Less planning. More living.
