Among all the modern shopping centers and busy streets there is the historic center of Andorra la Vella, Europe's highest capital city. Though not very extensive it does have some historically important buildings like the old parliament building known as the Casa de la Vall and the Romanesque church of Sant Esteve. There's a certain charm in the cobblestone streets and several small squares that can be found here especially when viewed with the backdrop of the majestic Pyrenees. There's also a few cafes and shops that might interest visitors. I enjoyed strolling the area both at night and during the day,it makes for a nice contrast against all the modern shops which seem to have taken over most of the city.
