| Spain. Vipp's seventh concept hotel is located in the historic Borda House in Andorra, carrying the tradition of stone houses that highlight the local mountain characteristics. It warmly welcomes lifestyle lovers from all over the world with a comfortable contemporary interior environment and a rural atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Located in the heart of Andorra's old town, Borda's original buildings were built in the 1950s and were once used to store grain and house livestock. Vipp worked with local design firm Bau Studio to create the hotel, its first concept hotel outside of Scandinavia. Looking through the porthole, a warm atmosphere hits you. The warmth of wood blends with the stone architecture, continuing the tranquil design sense brought by the Vipp concept hotel series. The 100-square-meter duplex apartment has a kitchen, dining room, living room and guest bathroom on the first floor. Going up the custom-made metal staircase to the second floor, you will find a bedroom suite with a spacious bathroom. Looking out the porthole, on either side of the city center of one of the world’s smallest countries are 468 square kilometers of undulating valleys and soaring peaks, located between France and Spain. “While each Vipp hotel explores various architectural archetypes and has unique characteristics, they all share a unified aesthetic spirit and use Vipp’s V1 kitchen and furniture series. In the future, such hotel exploration will continue, hoping to bring unforgettable stay experiences to more people.” ——Kasper Egelund, CEO and 3rd generation owner of Vipp

In continental Europe, there's a niche and charming country—Andorra. It sits quietly between France and Spain, like a hidden gem, waiting for travelers to discover. Andorra offers visa-free entry for Chinese passports, but since it doesn't have an airport, you'll need to enter through a Schengen country. It's worth noting that although Andorra is located in Europe, it's not a member of the European Union. When you enter Andorra with an EU SIM card, you'll find no signal. In this case, the free Wi-Fi in surrounding shopping malls and hotels will come in handy, or you can purchase a local SIM card. If your phone is an international version, you can also use airalo's eSIM card to solve the network problem. Andorra is not a large country; it generally takes only one or two days to explore. The heart of the country is located in the central region, which is also the bustling city center. Thanks to its duty-free advantages, it attracts major brands from all over the world, making it a paradise for shoppers. Whether it's fashionable clothing, exquisite jewelry, or high-end electronics, you can find your favorite products here. Northern Andorra is home to the majestic Pyrenees Mountains, with rolling hills and picturesque scenery, reminiscent of Switzerland. There are two main viewpoints in the north that are definitely worth a visit. One of them is an iron chain bridge, the second longest span in the world, which is quite spectacular. When I went there, due to time and weather constraints, I only visited this one viewpoint. When I reached the middle of the bridge, it suddenly started to rain and wind, so I had to turn back. This became a small regret of my trip. Transportation in Andorra is a bit unique. Ride-hailing apps don't work here, and Google Maps can't find bus routes. You need to use the local app "mou-te" to call a car. If you want to go to the northern viewpoints, you can take the L4 line from the city center and get off at the Paula de gel station. After getting off, continue walking forward for about 50 meters, buy tickets at the tourist center next to Carrefour, then walk back to the gas station and take the shuttle bus up the mountain. It's recommended to book tickets online in advance, otherwise, you might end up like me, asking several people before finding the ticket center. Because Google Maps doesn't work and the ticket center is relatively hidden, many online guides don't mention the specific ticket purchase location, so be sure to prepare in advance. Andorra is only a 3-hour drive from Barcelona. If you have enough time, you can start from Barcelona and visit Andorra for sightseeing and shopping, killing two birds with one stone. Since the network in some areas of Andorra is not good, it's best to download offline maps and plan your itinerary in advance so that you can travel smoothly even without internet access. In Andorra, you can not only admire the beautiful natural scenery and experience the unique charm of European towns but also enjoy the fun of duty-free shopping. Whether strolling through the bustling streets of the city center or climbing the high mountains in the north, you'll have unforgettable memories. Travel tips: 1. Prepare a Schengen visa in advance for smooth entry into Andorra. 2. Remember to bring enough cash, as some small shops may not accept credit cards or mobile payments. 3. When going to the northern viewpoints, pay attention to weather changes and bring appropriate clothing and rain gear. Come to Andorra and embark on a unique European adventure!

If you come to Andorra to ski in winter, Sport Hotel Hermitage & Spa is a good choice. As long as you are a guest of the hotel, you can enjoy VIP service at the hotel's own ski center, and ski preparation is very convenient and fast. After a day of skiing, you can enjoy free spa services at the hotel's spa center. There are many restaurants in the hotel, two of which are Michelin-starred restaurants, and the food is delicious.

Andorra is a mini-country sandwiched between Spain and France. It's famous for winter sports, but it's also full of nature and fun in the summer🙌🏻 The capital is Andorra la Vella. It's said to be the capital with the highest altitude of any European capital🏔 It doesn't have that capital feel, but apparently a lot of French and Spanish people move here because taxes are low! Shopping is also popular because taxes are low. There are many local European brand stores in the center, and it was bustling even during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the summer, I recommend enjoying the scenery at Roc del Quer, going to Caldea to swim in the spectacular pool, and staying in an Airbnb that's typical of Andorra. In the winter, it's all about winter sports! After skiing, you can sweat it out in Caldea🧖🏻♀️ #Roadtrip #100TravelStyles #EuropeTrip

andorre nice place to visit.and also nice shopping area

#bucketlistreboot For those who are not renting a car, a solo traveller like me, who wants to visit Mirador del Roc del Quer, can only be done by bus travel. I took bus number L4 toward Canillo at the Mango outlet opposite the bus stop. You can take at any bus stop that got Bus number L4 that travel toward Canillo will do. The cost is Eur 1.90 per way. Dropped at Palau del Gel, the bus stop name will show at the screen. Walk on your left side, you will reach the tourist centre, where you can get the ticket. Tell them you need the Eur 14.50, that includes, the bus transport, suspension bridge and the view point platform, then walk back when you reach a petrol station, opposite is the bus stop to your destination. The bus 1st stop at suspension bridge, then to the Mirador del Roc del Quer. Every visitor will come to this place when they are in Andorra, to have a birdseye view of the town from above.

#bucketlistreboot Andorra streets have plenty of public artworks or sculptures along the road especially at roundabout. Like Seven Poetas Sculptures in front of the Consell General d'Andorra, Calidea and La Dama de Gel are formed by two sculptures. The Paris Bridge is one of Andorra La Vella 's emblems, linking both sides of the river together. The Noblesse du temps is a sculpture that was given to Andorra Government made in 1999. Public art and sculptures in centre of the capital city of Andorra La Vella make it like one big open air art gallery, its definitely worth walking by and checking it out.

#bucketlistreboot It is located at Passatge de l'Aigueta, 2, AD500, Andorra La Vella. Next to llla Carlemany shopping mall. I had ordered a Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino, a combination of ice blended Starbuck coffee, pumpkin pie flavored sauce and milk , topped with pumpkin pie spices- cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. You can ask for the delicious whipped cream, but i opt out. Tasting this seasonal drink in the only outlet in Andorra, buying the city mug as a souvenir. I cannot find an excuse to miss it

#bucketlistreboot Itàlia Pizzeria Rostisseria is located at AD 500 Andorra La Vella around 1 minute walk from Arthotel. I was sitting outside beside the river, the weather was just nice. I ordered one Pasta Ratatouille and an iced coffee. The staff are nice and friendly, the pasta is also not bad, only the iced coffee, they bring me a cup of ice and an Expresso, i need to pour it into the glass. Overall, the food is not bad, it total cost me Euro 15.80 not so expensive, if you are craving for Italian food, can pay them a visit.

#bucketlistreboot Alight at Barcelona Terminal 1, immigration and baggage complete within one hour. Follow the sign to take the bus i reserve for Andorra. If you are hungry, there are a number of restaurants at the arrival hall. The journey is from T1, to T2, then to Barcelona Saint station and takes around 3 hours and 30 minutes, including a check by Andorra Police at the checkpoint The only way to Andorra is by driving or bus, there are no trains and airports in Andorra. The nearest international airport is Barcelona, so I decided to plan a visit to this beautiful landlocked country.

Skiing In Andorra : The Pyrenees Mountains are located across the border between France and Spain. Also on this border is the tiny principality of Andorra, as small country that’s skiing crazy! With two prominent world class ski resorts, Andorra is an excellent place to escape it all; a relaxing, picturesque, quaint place, with mountain views to take your breath away. And because it is so near France, you can always make a stop off in Andorra for a day or two on another European ski break. Andorra is situated itself across the Pyrenees, and has a long and protracted dalliance with snow sports. #tripinspired#skiresorts#naturalwonders#beautifulhotel#summervacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer
