  • Andorra is a very small country and haven't airport or train stations for long distances,so the only option to reach Andorra is by road.
    This is a picture taken at the spanish douane.

    When you leave Andorra for this border or also for the French border,don't be surprised if the police stop you and may ask you if you got something to declare,often they ask you to open your car's trunk to see inside.The reason of that is because in Andorra people can find very good prices in electronics produts and very often people hide them inside the car and this way don't need to pay for the taxes that you have to pay if the police find something expensive bought in Andorra inside your car.
