About Andorra

Andorra is a tiny principality lost in the eastern Pyrenees between its more imposing neighbours, France and Spain. Despite its modest size, Andorra attracts many tourists.

First of all, everyone who is partial to alpine skiing is happy to come here. There are a lot of slopes, gentle and dizzying descents, excellent conditions for ski holidays. In addition, Andorra attracts people to relax in the mountains, surrounded by magnificent and almost untouched nature.

The pros of the Principality include European-style high level of service, well-developed tourist infrastructure. At the same time, holidays in Andorra will cost an order of magnitude cheaper than in other European ski resorts. There is also a duty-free zone in the Principality, so you can go here just for shopping.

What you should do in Andorra is to master one of winter sports, sit in a bar on a mountain slope, visit local museums and shopping centres, buy souvenirs, such as cigars, or ski equipment at bargain prices, relax at one of the spa resorts.

Church of Santa Coloma d'Andorra

 4.6/5

332 reviews

Once in Andorra la Velle, one cannot help but notice this outstanding structure, which looks more like a powerful tower or fortress than a church. However, Santa Coloma is indeed a church, but without luxury or pretentiousness. Built in the X century, which has preserved its original appearance to this day, the church has remained a striking example of pre-Romanesque architecture. The church is still in operation, attracting tourists with its peculiar beauty and ancient history.

Sant Joan de Caselles Church

 4.6/5

928 reviews

The Church of St John was built in the Romanesque style in the form of a powerful tower and is located in one of the most beautiful corners of Andorra – at the exit from Canillo. The church is believed to have been built in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. It is characterised by a Lombard-style bell tower, porticoes, the remains of magnificent stucco and a rectangular nave. A visit to St John’s Church is usually included in the itinerary of bus tours in Andorra, as it is just on the route of other interesting sights.

Open time

Casa de la Vall

 4.5/5

675 reviews

It is actually the building of the old parliament of the city, where many antiquities that tell the history of Andorra have been preserved. In the Casa de la Val house-museum tourists can see the hall where the council met, visit a really medieval kitchen and a guest room. In general, the decoration of this fortress can not be called opulent or too colourful, however, it is interesting precisely because of its history. There is also the Postal Museum, and the ground floor is occupied by the church of St Ermengol.
