Excursions
Description
High mountains, covered with snow, often until late into the year, green pastures during the summer with a rich flora and fauna which is waiting to be discovered…. the Shopping paradise… it is all about Andorra excursion.
An estimated 9 million tourists visit annually, attracted by Andorra’s duty-free status and summer and winter resorts. Andorra La Vella is a good destination to buy all kinds of cheap goods, due to the country’s status as a "tax haven."
Andorra’s huge ski resorts with their family-friendly slopes are probably the main reason for Andorra’s popularity among tourists, but the country has other things to offer. In terms of landmarks and culture, the many churches and shrines are a main sight. The famous statue of Our Lady of Meritxell was destroyed in a 1972 fire, but a nice replica is still on display. In the country’s capital, Andorra la Vella, you’ll find the Romanesque Església de Sant Esteve, located in the old part of town and therefore a perfect stop during a city walk.
