"Don´t let people discourage you from coming" Andorra by wadekorzan

Andorra Travel Guide: 679 reviews and 987 photos

So many times when I mentioned I would like to go to Andorra, people either responded by asking in which country it is or they said not to go there because there is nothing there but a bunch of duty free shopping.

I firmly believe in discovering things myself and only then forming my own opinion about it. Thank goodness I went to Andorra!

If you´re in Barcelona or Southern France, it is a beautiful drive to get there. Once you are there, you can easily drive the whole country in a day or two. There is alot of shopping, beautiful mountains, ski resorts, quaint stone bridges, pre-Romanesque architecture, and a culture which is unique to itself and worth discovering!

Pros and Cons

Pros:Beautiful mountain scenery
Cons:There can be alot of traffic in Andorra La Vella
In a nutshell:If you´re in the area, don´t miss it!

Found the "Roc del Quer" on my mtn bike... what a climb! (FYI, its actually on CSN-240 between Canillo and coll d'Ordino.- might want to update the tip) I think we both enjoyed the little country in the same ways!

Beautiful pictures of Andorra! I remember Andorra as such a beautiful place I want to go back. Good tip about Casa de la Pas.
