High up in the east Pyrenees, Andorra la Vella is the capital of the Principality of Andorra and the highest capital in Europe. This beautiful city is a popular ski destination and a major commercial center.
Famous for its natural heritage, the town is separated in two parts. The new part of town is very commercial, while the charming old town is characterized by picturesque stone streets and houses. Visit a local restaurant and enjoy traditional dishes like escudella, which is a stew of chicken, sausage and meatballs.
Relax in the city park or visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley with its glacial landscape. Ideal for all levels of skiers, the ski area of Grandvalira is the largest one in Southern Europe.
Andora la Vella is the trading capital of the Pyrenees, featuring first-class hotels, nice shops and restaurants. Booking.com has several Andorra la Vella hotels, guesthouses, apartments and hostels.
The city has no airport and the train station of L'Hospitalet-près-l'Andorre is the last one before Andorra, about two hours from Toulouse. There are regular bus services from Andorra-l’Ospitalet to Andorra la Vella.

I traveled in my return jorney to Barcelona coming from France and decided to stop for shopping in Andorra based on feedback that is tax free city.
I reliazed that prices are not cheaper depsite they claimed as tax free. Moreover not much marchendis brands can be found in the city.
Food at restaurants is terrible, except Hard Rock Cafe which was relatively better in town.

The views are stunning and the small town centre is easy to navigate. Signage is pretty good and there are lots of things to see and do in the great outdoors.
Parking is a bit of a pest, and an expensive one at that. Not all hotels offer parking so good to check if they do (you will have to pay but parking at hotel beats dragging luggage from some distance away). Not all accomodation has airconditioning. If you are there in summer- this is an issue- so if this is what you need- check what your accomodation offers don't assume that there is aircon.! We moved hotels because of lack of aircon or even fans to move the air and in august it is hot. Smoking is the norm- and a table lighting up next to you while you are still eating is not uncommon so this may influence where you eat. Not all hotels are strict about non- smoking so you may be offered a room that smells of smoke. Basically you will need to check everything with your accomodation provider.

Andorra is a long series of cities and towns, filled with modern high rise buildings in a deep, steep valley. Andorra la Vella is the shopping hub. Traffic is heavy because of the narrow valley and crowds or locals and tourists. The setting is spectacular. If I go there again, it will be only for the hiking and I'd stay in one of the towns high up on the mountain between Andorra and France.

Andorra as a country is beautiful.
Andorra as a country is beautiful. We drove in from France brought Pas del la Casa. The mountain pass offered incredible views. Definitely recommend stopping to shop at the summit. There is much more variety in the the shops than what you will find in the capital city. We chose to drive the mountain pass rather than the tunnels. We're rewarded by incredible vistas. Andorra was one of the highlights of our drive around the Catalonia countryside.

My favorite spot was the city center.
My favorite spot was the city center. It's the ultimate shopping center for people who want to have high-end products for a price slightly lesser than usual (City is actually tax free/duty free)
I ate at an Italian restaurant near Siracusa. Not only was the food effing beautiful, but the bartender/waiter was on fire. Which I will honestly admit added to the aroma and aura of the place.
Getting around here is pretty Easy.
If you want to see snow in the end of May, you can go for a hiking on Pas De La Casa to catch a glimpse of the snow leftover. (is that even right?) Another is the pool and Caldea, I heard they are super great but I was on a budget so I wasn't able to visit it.

Andorra la Vella, and the entire country of Andorra is a beautiful. Fascinating and unique travel destination, especially for US travelers. The scenery is truly stunning, the town is a well known shopping destination for Europeans, and has everything a shopper could want. The food is influenced by France, Spain, and Catalan, so the variety is superb, as well as presentation and preparation.
One surprising and interesting challenge is language. Andorrans speak Catalan, French, and Spanish, but almost no one was comfortable in
English. Not a problem, since everyone did their best and helped us communicate.
“The staff was very friendly and helpful. We got answers to all our questions. Breakfast was very tasty. The hotel is located in the center of the city with plenty of shops and restaurants in its vicinity. Highly recommended.”
“This lovely hotel is right downtown yet has a lovely river flowing right past and a glorious view of the mountains. All kinds of parking is very nearby and not expensive. Our room overlooked the river and the park and it was great that the windows really opened so that we could hear the river. The room was extremely spacious,very comfortable, the service was excellent ad the value was superb. No complaints at all. Very short walks to all kinds of food, shopping, cafes etc.”
