Andorra la Vella Parish, Andorra

Andorra la Vella Parish is the true heart of the country—politically, economically, and culturally. Although it's the smallest in size, it hosts much of the institutional and urban life of the Principality. From the historic old town to peaceful natural areas, this parish offers a unique blend of modern energy and Pyrenean tradition.

A capital full of life

As the main urban center, Andorra la Vella is a vibrant city brimming with shops, culture, and activity. It’s home to the government institutions and boasts top-tier retail areas, restaurants, museums, and attractions like Caldea. Avinguda Meritxell and the historic center make it an international point of reference.

Santa Coloma: tradition and spirituality

The second hub of the parish, Santa Coloma, provides a calmer, more traditional counterpart. It's known especially for the pre-Romanesque church of Santa Coloma, one of the oldest in the country, with its distinctive circular tower and ancient frescoes, now viewable in a museum. It's a place steeped in history and charm.

Nature at your doorstep

Despite its urban setting, the parish offers quick access to nature. The Rec del Solà and Rec de l’Obac are scenic trails with views over the city. It’s also a gateway for hikes to the Madriu Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and other nearby mountains.

Andorra la Vella Parish is where everything converges: modern life, ancient history, accessible nature, and high-quality services. It's the epicenter of a country that, despite its size, has everything to surprise and captivate its visitors.
