From works of art from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in Carmen Thyssen Andorra Museum to steam vehicles from 1885 in the National Automobile Museum, Andorra offers an impressive historical tour through its museums and interpretation centres, with places where the past comes to life such as Casa de la Vall and the Casa de Areny-Plandolit.. Discover the country with the most museums per square metre in the world.


Andorra is a country at high altitude in a mountainous environment, and as such its cuisine incorporates zero-kilometre products from the surrounding countryside, such as vegetables, mushrooms and game meat, and it benefits from the influence of its Catalan and French neighbours too. As a result, we find dishes such as Escudella (meat and vegetable soup), Trinxat de la Muntanya (potatoes, cabbage and pork) and Caracoles a la llauna (snails). Whatever you order, you can’t go wrong!


Andorra is the land of shopping par excellence. Starting at Avenida Meritxell and ending at Avenida Carlemany, the Shopping Mile stretches for 1.5 km along pedestrian streets exclusively dedicated to luxury boutiques, with shopping centres and stores specialising in fashion, jewellery, accessories and anything else you can think of. Take advantage, shopping is tax-freehere!


Modern-day Andorra is home to much Romanesque art. For example, there are more than 30 churches throughout the territory, all dating from the 11th and 12th centuries, including the Church of San Climent, the Church of Sant Martí de La Cortinada and the Church of Sant Miquel d’Engolasters. You will also find contemporary sculptures throughout the city such as the Noblesse du Temps, by Salvador Dalí, and the Interior Garden of Prada Casadet, an open space that serves as a free sculptural museum for all audiences. Andorra is culture!


With a privileged location surrounded by mountains, Andorra has a unique natural landscape in Europe. Contemplate this natural beauty in all its splendour from viewpoints such as the Roc del Quer, and dare to climb the Tibetan Bridge of Canillo, which is over 1,800 metres high and only for the bravest!
The Sorteny Valley Natural Park and the Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, are perfect for hiking, enjoying the local flora and fauna, and relaxing in the midst of nature. Be amazed by the natural wealth of the Pyrenees.


Skiing
Andorra is transformed in winter. During the final few months of the year, the mountains are covered with snow, which, combined with the altitude and orography of the area, makes the country a paradise for skiing enthusiasts.
It is impossible to talk about skiing in Andorra without mentioning the Grandvalira resort. With over 200 km of pistes and a wide range of activities in addition to skiing, such as mushing, snowshoeing and snowboarding, Grandvalira is the largest ski resort in Andorra and the largest in southern Europe. It also boasts numerous restaurants to recharge your batteries after a day on the slopes!
Other noteworthy ski resorts are Pal Arinsal and Vallnord. In Andorra there are options for all tastes.
