ANDORRA - GETTING AROUND
In the city center, everything is in close proximity, so walking is the best option. There are sidewalks within every town, often separated from traffic with metal guardrails. If you are walking between towns, be aware that the roads can get very narrow at times, and walkers aren't allowed in certain tunnels.
By Bus
Buses are the best way to move around Andorra freely. It's a safe and fast option to get between towns when the sidewalks end. In Andorra La Vella, buses run almost constantly and connect all parts of town. The bus network covers nearly the entire country, connecting key tourist and urban areas.
Buses run around every 30 minutes to surrounding towns. Be sure to check the schedules online for the most up-to-date routes and times. The Cooperativa Interurbana Andorrana manages the bus services in Andora with several lines daily. There is a bus system app called Moovit to check the bus schedule.
Regular lines connect the main parishes (Andorra la Vella, Escaldes-Engordany, Encamp, La Massana, Ordino, Canillo, Sant Julia de Loria, and Pas de la Casa). The routes that connect El Tarter and Andorra are L3 and L4.
Bus Expres is a direct line that runs between Sant Julia and Encamp, with a stop in Andorra la Vella. Night buses are ideal if you plan to go out and need a ride back.
If you prefer a more relaxed way to explore the country, in summer and fall you can take the Andorra Tourist Bus, which stops at scenic viewpoints, Romanesque churches, and other landmarks.
A car rental is not necessary in Andorra. Unless you're going somewhere that buses don't service, we wouldn't recommend it. Car rentals and parking are expensive in Andora. Only consider renting a car if you plan to go to one of the few places outside of available bus services.
There are several car rental agencies in Andorra, with options both in the city center of Andorra la Vella and Pas de la Casa (ideal if you're arriving from France).
Taxis in Andorra are available in major cities, though more expensive than buses.
