Andorra la Vella Hotels
Adventurous Andorra la Vella
Andorra la Vella, the capital of the Principality of Andorra, can sometimes cop a bit of flack from the inexperienced traveller. Sure, if you’re not into snow sports you may find it a little dull here in winter – but you wouldn’t go to Fiji and complain there’s water everywhere, or to London expecting good coffee. ...

And Andorra la Vella is actually very beautiful no matter what time of year you visit, and regardless of whether you’re hurtling down the side of the Pyrenees, scrambling over the rocky hills of El Pui or shopping tax-free at one of over 2,000 stores in the fuming, traffic-jammed city centre. With over 300 days of sunshine a year, even the wrong time in Andorra la Vella can still feel pretty right. And that coffee is pretty good, too!
ANDORRA LA VELLA’S TOP 10
10. Old Town The site of the original settlement is full of little shops, cafés and friendly locals. |
5. Church of Sant Andreu It’s been there for over 800 years, but you still need a booking to get in! |
9. Museu Nacional de l’Automòbil With over 80 vintage cars on display, this is a petrol head’s idea of culture. |
4. Barri Antic The old heart of the city, and a gateway to plenty of souvenir-stocked little stores. |
8. Caldea Go for a dip or have a sweat in this old spa, sauna and swimming complex. |
3. Església de Sant Esteve Tread lightly around these exquisite stained-glass windows. |
7. Rec del Solà and Rec de l’Obac Visit at night and let the illuminated handrails guide you. |
2. Plaça del Poble Known as the ‘People’s Square’, this rooftop offers some of the best views of the city. |
6. Bridge of la Margineda How is this medieval bridge still in such perfect condition? |
1. Casa de la Vall Andorra’s parliament building and home to the city’s sole courtroom. Clearly, everyone is far too busy enjoying themselves to commit any crimes. |
ANDORRA LA VELLA EVENTS
February’s Moraira Teulada sees a spectacular mock battle that even the most die-hard pacifist can enjoy – the only weapon used is flour.
There are a number of celebrations around Easter, with the preparations for Lent in particular giving rise to loads of feasts and festivals.
April sees the celebration of St George’s Day (Sant Jordi) and tradition calls for the giving of books and roses.
The summer solstice is celebrated with Festa del Poble,falling on St John’s Day in June.
December gets into the Christmas spirit with St Lucia Fair, where you’ll find plenty of materials for partaking in Christmassy crafts.
WHEN TO GO
- The winter months are chilly, but they’re also dry and bring fantastic snow conditions when the ski resorts open in early December.
- Snow turns to rain during autumn, Andorra’s wettest season.
- Summer is mild and sunny, averaging about 19ºC (66ºF).
GETTING AROUND
- There are two main parts to Andorra, both of which are safe and easy to get around on foot.
- You’ll probably spend the majority of your time in the Old Town, and walking is the best way to explore all the restaurants, shops and sights.
- The local bus service will get you from one part of Andorra La Vella to the other.It’s quite efficient and super-cheap, but make sure you read the timetables properly.
