Tourist Attractions & Monuments Andorra

Timetable

Museums and cultural institutes are generally open from 10am in Andorra and close between 6pm and 7pm depending on the season and the establishment (usually a little later on Saturdays).

To be booked

It is mainly to participate in guided tours (museums, neighborhoods, natural areas, etc.) that it is necessary to make a reservation in advance.

Budget & Tips

If many cultural sites are free in Andorra, many others are not and usually cost between 3 and 10 € (maximum). The good plan here is the PassMuseu! Andorra's tourist office has set up this cultural passport that allows you to benefit from preferential rates to visit many of the Principality's museums. The price is set at 2.50 € and gives you a 50% discount on the price of admission to three of the country's nineteen museums: the Motorcycle Museum, the Museum of Sacred Art, the Thyssen Museum of Andorra, the new Bicycle Museum (Bici Lab Andorra)... To take advantage of this discount, you must present this passport at the entrance of the chosen museum. Each passport is personal and non-transferable, and each discount coupon is valid for a different museum. In each museum, your PassMuseu will be stamped to validate the discount. Also included is a brief description of each museum. You can get it in one of the eight tourist offices, spread throughout the territory.

Main events

Andorra is a land of traditions with a fairly Catholic background: the national holiday, 8 September, is that of the Virgin of Meritxell, patron saint of the Andorran valleys. Most of the towns and villages in the Principality celebrate her patron saint every year, but Andorra also has other traditional events, whether they are rooted in the country's rural past or in pagan traditions, such as St John's Day. Large-scale sporting competitions and other cultural festivals complete the Andorran calendar.

Guided tours

Many museums and interpretation centers offer guided tours in French (to be booked in advance) as well as audio guides. Andorra has no shortage of professional mountain guide agencies for more challenging mountain expeditions.

Smokers

Smoking is not permitted in museums. In outdoor and natural areas, it is the responsibility of smokers not to disturb non-smokers and to leave the areas clean.
