Shopping at Andorra La Vella:
Andorra La Vella is regarded as the The main shopping destination because of the tax-free policy of this country. But I must give you some advice:

1. There are some fakes here, You must check carefully before buying.
2. You should good at beat down bargain if you want buy something in really cheap price.
3. Almost all stores in Andorra La Vella will close in the noon-time, until 14:00 afternoon.

In midseason,there is not enough room for tourist. You should book ahead of your travel schedule. (You can check HotelsCombined for the best hotel rate)

Ski:
Vallnord (covers Arcalis and the Arinsal-Pal ski area) and Grandvalira(covers Soldeu and Pas de la Casa) is the most famous ski resorts in Andorra. You can also buy a ski pass, It’s often covers neighbouring areas.

Traffic:
Due mainly to the mountainous nature, There are no airports and railway in Andorra.There is only one road entering Andorra from France, and only one widely-used road entering Andorra from Spain. Almost all entry into the country happens at one of these two points.

There are many coach services operating into Andorra. From France there is a coach service from Toulouse, and one that operates via L’Hospitalet and La Tour de Carol. From Spain, coaches to Andorra can be caught from a variety of locations, such as Barcelona, Madrid, Malaga, Lleida and Valencia.

Eurolines operating daily service from Barcelona airport and Barcelona Sants to Andorra.
