Andorra has been an independent country since 1278 and on our guided tour, you’ll understand what the independence of this small principality has meant for the rest of the world. You’ll walk through the streets of its capital, Andorra la Vella, and get lost in the old town, seeing the most emblematic buildings that had great importance in history.
After this town walk, the tour will go on towards the mountains, from which you can enjoy a unique view of the whole town, 5,000 feet (1,500 m) above the valley floor. You will also have the chance to learn about Romanesque architecture in some of the country’s most representative churches, and finally end in a unique landscape, by one of its lakes, surrounded by the highest peaks of the Pyrenees.
