Budget Travel Guide to Andorra

Tucked in between Spain and France in the heart of the Pyrenees it's also got some amazing walking and hiking to offer, not to mention a reputation for specialising in retail therapy.

Accommodation on a budget in Andorra.

Tricky, but achievable if you're willing to camp, or if you're going for the trekking, to stay in one of the mountain rifugis along the way. There are no youth hostels in Andorra and the hotels raise their prices dramatically in the high seasons.

A Traveller's Budget for Andorra.

You can pick up Tapas for a reasonable price or check out the buffet on the top floor of the Pyrenees Department Store. Public transport is by bus or you could just walk, the whole country's a third of the size of Paris.
