Andorra has become an important tourist destination in Europe.

Skiing and Snowboarding

Andorra has several major ski resorts, including Soldeu/El Tarter and Pal/Arinsal. These are very popular with tourists from Spain, France and the UK, particularly because their relatively gentle slopes are ideal for less experienced as families. Andorran ski schools are among the largest in Europe, and English-speaking instructors are readily available.

Shopping

Because it is not a member of the European Union, Andorra is able to sell a wide range of duty free products, including alcohol, perfume and cigarettes. These are much cheaper than in neighboring countries, and are a lucrative source of revenue for the country.

Mountain climbing and walking

There are a number of hiking trails which can be explored during the summer months, when the snow has thawed.

Cafés and Restaurants

Although Andorra is not renowned for its wining and dining, there are a number of good quality establishments for eating out, especially in the capital, Andorra La Vella. Template:World Tourism
