Local tips for your shopping getaway

As residents, we know that making the most of Andorra requires a bit of strategy. Here are our "insider" tips:

  • Park and forget: Downtown traffic can be dense. Book a hotel with parking near Vivand and get around on foot. Discover more about how to get around in our section on transport and VTC.
  • Combine shopping and relaxation: You're a step away from the thermal paradise. We recommend checking the Caldea website directly to book your entrance at sunset, when your legs are already tired.
  • Know your customs limits: Purchases in Illa Carlemany (and throughout Andorra) benefit from low taxation (IGI of 4.5%). However, review the tax regulations to know how many electronic products, tobacco, or perfumes you can take across the border without declaring.
  • Extend your itinerary: If you've already emptied the display windows, check out our guide on what to do in Andorra in winter or thoroughly explore the shops with our Andorra Shopping Guide.
