Rules in force · 6
- Andorra ↗Andorra is outside the EU and Schengen: you leave the Schengen area when you enter and re-enter it when you leave. If you need a Schengen visa, make sure it allows multiple entries; check the official rules for your passport.
- Andorra ↗Duty-free prices come with strict allowances on tobacco, alcohol and other goods when you return to Spain or France; customs checks are routine.
- Andorra ↗In winter, snow chains or winter tyres may be required on the mountain roads; check road conditions before you drive.
- Andorra la Vella and Escaldes-Engordany ↗National bus lines link the parishes; check the last bus back before you go up the valley, especially outside the ski season.
- Andorra la Vella ↗Book the road transfer from Barcelona or Toulouse against your flight number and plan to arrive in daylight, especially November to April when snow and ice affect the passes.
- Andorra la Vella ↗Streets in the old town are steep and cobbled in places: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
