If you like shopping it’s pretty good . It’s a small modern shopping mall in the middle of the main shopping trip. Andorran prices are pretty keen compared to Spain or France but do not have the great sales you have twice a year in...MoreThanks for you kind review and your visit. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your visit in illa Carlemany Shopping Center. We work hard, day by day making an enjoyable experience to all our visitors. It'll be a pleasure to receive your visit again.
2. Juclar Lake

Juclar is a fabulous walk, it is so lovely that you will forget about aching legs and the time. In spring the flowers are absolutely amazing and the butterflies and wildlife are abundant if you take it slow and keep noise to a minimum. Once you reach Juclar you can stay at the refuge which can be booked ahead of time, a hot dinner and breakfast will be provided along with showers and toilets. The rooms in the refuge are brilliant, four bunk beds and it is very warm. It is a wonderful experience for kids after an easy hike. I give Juclar two thumbs up!
3. Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley

Accompanying the streams, and water falls, the rock formations, the sights of lichen and moss make this climb delightful. Destination signs however are misleading. Starting from Escaledes the sign indicated 1 hr. 50 minutes and it certainly was longer. In fact I did not make it to the final destination due to lack of time and not having the strength for the last steep climb to Perafita. Check out an easier, downhill route via Claror -- thus I gathered speaking with trekers coming from that side. The view towards Coma Pedrosa, the highest peak in Andorra, is awe inspiring. After backtracking I hiked to Ramio; greener, less rocky, but less to see there.

Reviewed By Nataliya623 - Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine
This special place is arranged in one of the numerous yards of Andorra, in it old part. If you look inside two buildings you always find a beautiful unexpected view or monument. Inspiring place, though we get to it just at the moments of somebody's funeral and crowds of people came to say goodbye. So we waited until ceremony finishes and only after this went in.

There was a very good Miro exhibition on when we visited which was worth seeing, but all teh other Exhibitions were good too.
6. Museu Carmen Thyssen Andorra

Reviewed By 204Noggin - Andorra la Vella, Andorra
The museum only opened March 2017. It holds annual temporary Exhibitions with works from the Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection. There is one room of paintings and a shop. It holds some 30 works of art - badly needs more in my opinion to justify the €9 entry fee (which, admittedly, does include an audio guide).

Reviewed By Jaume P - Escaldes-Engordany, Andorra
All of Andorra via ferrata are extremely safe. There are anchors available all along the route, bolts and chemical anchors 100% safe and reviewed periodically. This has particularly negative walls, vertical walls and hanging Bridges very exciting! The only downside for me is that I have not ever managed to finish the last section (that is walking going to find the way) without losing myself. Should clearly mark the final stretch!
9. Perfume Museum
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 44 reviews
Reviewed By Marielle E - Andorra la Vella Parish, Andorra
First, you must know that this "museum" is owned by the Julia chain of perfume stores. As such, it heavily promotes Julia products. The museum is essentially a display of perfume bottles from Ancient Egypt until today. There are very few explanations about the bottles but an introductory video explains the origins of perfume-making. The most interesting and interactive part of the exhibit was the scent-making machine that lets you mix four different essences to 'compose' your own scent. The visit lasts 20 to 40 minutes.
10. Cami Interparroquial de Prats a Engolasters

Reviewed By hrenuk - Moscow, Russia
Пешеходная тропа проходит между областями Канильо, Энкамп и Эскальдес-Энгордань. Ее общая протяженность составляет 12 км и имеет место значительный перепад высот. Рекомендую начать прогулку от озера Энголастерс в области Эскальдес-Энгордань и пройти несколько километров в сторону Энкампа и обратно. Здесь весьма широка тропа, почти дорога, по которой не только ходят пешком, но и катаются на велосипедах. Оборудованы смотровые площадки, есть скамейки и столики. Вдоль тропы высажен характерные для Пиринеев растения с соответствующими пояснениями.
