Andorra in 1 day: what to see and do, hour by hour

BEFORE YOU GO

Before crossing the border: three things that save you time

The border, mobile data, and parking are what waste the most time on a day trip. Here's how to avoid it.

Border traffic

If you come on Saturday, enter via La Farga de Moles (from Spain) or Pas de la Casa (from France) before 9:00 or after 14:00. To return on Sunday, it's better before 15:00 or after 20:00.

See border traffic

Data without roaming

Andorra is not in the European Union roaming zone: with your plan, data is charged separately. Install an eSIM before leaving home and use your phone from the first minute.

See eSIM from €4

Parking and taxis

At midday, parking in the center of Andorra la Vella is expensive. Leave your car in a parking lot and travel by taxi between parishes: no internal journey takes more than an hour.

YOUR DAY, HOUR BY HOUR

What to see in Andorra in one day: the itinerary

MORNING · 9:00 – 13:00

Morning: the historic center or the Tibetan bridge

Two ways to start. If it's your first time, the center of Andorra la Vella on foot: the Barri Antic, Casa de la Vall, and a good hot chocolate. If you prefer the mountains, go up to Canillo and cross the Tibetan bridge.

MIDDAY · 13:00 – 15:00

Midday: eat in Andorra la Vella without losing the afternoon

Four restaurants in the capital with food service: Mediterranean cuisine, Portuguese and Catalan dishes, aged beef burgers, or tapas with craft beer.

AFTERNOON · 15:00 – 19:30

Afternoon: shopping on Meritxell Avenue or Caldea

Both fit into the same afternoon: the shops on Meritxell Avenue continue along Carlemany Avenue to Caldea, in Escaldes-Engordany. If you shop, remember that there are limits per person when returning.

EVENING · 20:00 ONWARDS

Evening: dinner of Andorran cuisine before returning

End the day with mountain cuisine. If you're returning to Spain, Borda de les Pubilles is in Sant Julià de Lòria, on the way to the border. In the center, Can Manel or Mood Sensorial; and if you go up towards La Massana, Borda Xicoies.

No roaming in Andorra: eSIM from €4
