GET AROUND

Duo to its location in the high mountains, Andorra does not have an airport in its territory. However, the Principality is easily accessible from Andorra-La-Seu (LEU) Airport which is located in the region of Urgell in Spain. Open only during the summer season, it is used for private flights. Travelers that wish to fly in with commercial airlines can fly into Toulouse, Carcassonne, Barcelona, or Gerona.

There is a lot of public transport in Andorra. Cooperativa Interrurbana Andorrana’s 7 bus lines serve the entire Principality. Count between 1.85€ and 6.10€/ ticket depending on the area concerned.

If you want to explore the country without having to worry about timetables, car rental is also a great option. Andorra has an extensive road network. You can also cover good distances while also carrying a stroller and the children’s bicycles. One small suggestion: avoid traveling during rush hour.

Andorra is known as a paradise for two-wheelers. Whether you are a mountain biker or a road biker, there are a large number of paths that will surely awaken the cyclist that sleeps within you. Don’t forget to pick up a circuit map available at every tourism office.
