Andorra uses the euro, like several other European countries. One euro is divided into 100 cents. The official symbol for the euro is €, and its ISO code is EUR. There is no official symbol for the cent.

All banknotes and coins of this common currency are legal tender within all the countries, except that low-denomination coins (one and two cent) are phased out in some of them. The banknotes look the same across countries, while coins have a standard common design on one side and a national country-specific design on the other. The latter side is also used for different designs of commemorative coins. The design on the national side does not affect the use of the coin.

If you have a few days in Andorra, then you can easily visit most of the main villages by the local bus service operated by Cooperativa Interurbana Andorrana, S.A.

There are 8 main bus lines or ‘línies’, and all of these pass through Andorra La Vella. The fare is between €1.85 to €6.10 one-way depending on how far you are going. Drivers provide change. For the towns nearest to Andorra La Vella, the service is very regular, and as frequent as every 10 minutes during the day. If you are travelling to outlying rural places like Canolic, there are only 2 or 3 buses per day.

The lines are:

  • L1 Sant Julia de Loria – Andorra la Vella / Escaldes-Engordany
  • L2 Andorra la Vella – Encamp
  • L3 Andorra la Vella – Encamp – Soldeu
  • L4 Andorra la Vella – Encamp – Soldeu – Pas de la Casa
  • L5 Andorra la Vella – La Massana – Arinsal
  • L6 Andorra la Vella – La Massana – Ordino
  • E (express) Sant Julia de Loria – Andorra la Vella/Escaldes-Engordany

There are also three night bus lines with sparse intervals:

  • Bn1 Andorra la Vella – Sant Julia de Loria (every 60 min)
  • Bn2 Canillo – Andorra la Vella – Canillo (every 120 min)
  • Bn3 Ordino – Arsinal – Andorra la Vella – Ordino (every 90 min)

EAT:

Escudella De Pages (Catalan peasant soup) or Escudella i Carn d’Ollais often considered the national dish. It is sometimes made with pilotas (giant spiced meatballs).

DRINK:

By far you will most find Estrella Damm, a beer from Barcelona, all over the country. Finding drinks local to Andorra will take a little bit of effort.

  • Wine. The main Andorran grape varietal is pinot noir.
  • Alpha Brewery. The country’s only brewery that makes a couple different styles of beer is not sold in most stores. Small gift shops and our tourist-centric businesses may have some.
There are no well known five-star international chain hotels, such as Four Seasons, Fairmont, Intercontinental or Marriott in Andorra. Even four-star chains like Best Western are not here. The only well-known chain hotels are Holiday Inn and Ibis, in Andorra la Vella and Escaldes-Engordany respectively (Escaldes-Engordany is just east of Andorra la Vella). The remaining hotels in the country are almost always independently operated. Therefore, the quality and service provided by a four-star hotel, as classified by local tourism board, is not as good as what you expect from other destinations.

Andorra La Vella is a good destination to buy all kinds of cheap goods, due to the country’s status as a tax haven.
