A Day Trip to Andorra from Barcelona, Andorra la Vella, Andorra

We had researched the best way to visit Andorra and it seemed the best way was from Barcelona. A mere 3hr and 18 minutes and 191 km away to be precise. We debated visiting in wintertime, but summer was also supposed to be pretty spectacular and so with a bit of research we booked the 7.40am ALSA bus for €18 each from Barcelona Nord Station arriving into Andorra La Vella at 11.40.

Our first impressions when we arrived were that this was a pretty special place; we were in a lovely little town surrounded by imposing, but spectacular mountains.

What we didn’t know however was that our phones wouldn’t work here so we had no idea where we were heading! A quick food and drink stop with some wifi allowed us to do some research. We decided we would head to Placa del Noble, a rooftop square which offered great views across the city.

Heading away from the Placa across the footbridge we found ourselves in what looked like an Old Town; quaint streets with bars and restaurants and then we came across Casa de la Vall; an historic house and headquarters of the general council of Andorra. ......
