Where Is Andorra Located?
Andorra lies in southwestern Europe, high in the Pyrenees mountain range. It has no coastline and shares land borders with just two countries. The Spanish city of La Seu d'Urgell is south of Andorra, while the French region of Occitanie lies to the north and east. Its capital sits in a valley where several routes meet.
On a regional map, Andorra appears small compared with neighbouring Spain and France. On a detailed map, however, the country's ridges and valleys help explain why settlements cluster along rivers and major roads.
The Seven Parishes of Andorra
Andorra's administrative divisions are called parishes (parròquies in Catalan). Each includes towns, villages and surrounding mountain land.

Major Towns and Places to Find
Andorra la Vella is the country's capital and principal urban centre. Nearby Escaldes-Engordany forms part of the same built-up valley area. Encamp and Canillo are important eastern settlements, while La Massana, Ordino and Arinsal help orient visitors exploring the northern and western valleys.
Pas de la Casa, near the French frontier, is a high-altitude settlement associated with mountain access and winter sports. Sant Julià de Lòria lies on the southern approach from Spain. Look for each name on the interactive map and zoom in to see road connections.
Mountains, Valleys and Rivers
The Pyrenees dominate Andorra's landscape. The country's highest mountain is Comapedrosa (2,942 metres), in the northwest near Arinsal. Protected mountain landscapes, glacial lakes and walking routes are found throughout the country. Popular mountain areas include the Tristaina lakes and the valleys around Ordino and Canillo.
The Valira d'Orient and Valira del Nord river systems meet in the central valley and form the Gran Valira, which flows towards Spain. River valleys provide natural corridors for towns, roads and everyday travel. During mountain excursions, use a dedicated trail map as well as a general country map.
Roads and Getting Around
Andorra has no commercial airport or railway station within its borders. Travellers commonly arrive by road from Spain or France, using regional coach services or private vehicles. The principal road approaches run through the southern Spanish border and the northeastern French border.
Within Andorra, buses connect major settlements. Mountain roads can be steep and winding, and winter snow or ice may affect journeys. Check current road conditions, transport schedules and weather before travelling, especially when heading to high-altitude areas.
