Public transport in Andorra

Posted in Andorra information by Brett Tudor on 29/11/2024

Public transport is a great way to get around Andorra and explore the local attractions and incredible scenery offered by this little country.

In general the public buses are a great way to get around, bearing in mind that most of the bus lines are generated to and from the capital of Andorra La Vella to the outlying towns and resorts.

The public bus service is regular, reasonably priced and reliable.  Most of the services run every half hour (or less), with a more limited service on Sundays and official public holidays. The tickets can be bought directly from the bus driver on the bus itself.  Prices are based on the length of your trip/where you are travelling to.  With Andorra being such a small country, it never takes too long to get anywhere !

A trip into the capital of Andorra La Vella to take in the sights and enjoy some duty-free shopping is a great idea for an afternoon/evening off the slopes.  Remember that you also have the famous Caldea Spa, the largest in Southern Europe, which is almost a “must visit” for many coming to Andorra for their ski holidays.

There are many other attractions throughout Andorra for you to visit, depending on your requirements.  It is always worth checking at your hotel reception to see what they have available and you can check out the leaflets for activities, excursions and visits.

The main public bus lines are:

L4.   Runs to and from Pas de la Casa to Andorra La Vella, passing through Soldeu, El Tarter, Canillo and Encamp.   Normally running every 30 minutes (hourly on a Sunday and bank holiday)

L5.  Runs to and from Arinsal to Andorra La Vella, passing through La Massana.  This bus line is also every 30 minutes (hourly on a Sunday and bank holiday)

L6.  Runs to and from Ordino & Arcalis to Andorra La Vella and is more regular (every 20 minutes on average).

The “Express” and “Circular” lines go to Escaldes-Engordany and around Andorra la Vella respectively.  Again, these are regular lines.

It should be mentioned that the local bus service does not run late at night and the last buses are always at around 21.30-22.00H.  If you wanted to have a later evening outside of your resort you would have to take a taxi.

For the exact bus time table in any season for the local bus service, you can consult the web page:

Taxis are also available for use in Andorra.  There are plenty available to flag down in the capital of Andorra La Vella, and the main taxi rank is located by the bus station in Andorra La Vella.  Taxis are not as readily available to flag down in some of the ski resorts, so you would have to book these either through the hotel reception or on-line yourself by down-loading an app.  Both Uber and Cabify also operate in Andorra, so plenty of options are available for you.
