Airports near Andorra la Vella
Andorra is one of the five countries without an airport; however, it's still very accessible. To visit its capital, you'll arrive at one of these airports.
Andorra–La Seu d'Urgell Airport
The closest airport to Andorra la Vella is Andorra–La Seu d'Urgell. While it may share Andorra's name, it's actually in Spain. It's the main point of access into Andorra and is so close to the country's border that it's often mistaken as Andorra's own airport.
LEU to Andorra's capital takes just over 30 minutes by car or taxi, while public transport would require 2 buses for a 3-hour journey.
LEU only offers domestic flights within Spain, so if you want to arrive at this airport, you'll have to catch a flight from Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport, Spain's airport in Madrid, first.
Perpignan–Rivesaltes Airport
As Andorra is bordered by Spain and France, you can choose to initially arrive in either country. If you'd rather visit France first, then Perpignan–Rivesaltes Airport would be your best bet.
To get from PGF to Andorra la Vella takes just under 3 hours by car or taxi and 7 hours by public transport, requiring several buses and trains. While that latter option may be perfect if you want to explore France before Andorra la Vella, it's not so great if you want to get to your destination quickly.
Perpignan–Rivesaltes Airport is a small international airport offering direct flights from locations in the United Kingdom, Belgium and Morocco.
Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport
Most of Andorra la Vella's tourists come from Spain. One of Spain's most populated cities is Barcelona. If you're a Barcelona local or a tourist wanting to visit the city before Andorra, you can easily travel from BCN to Andorra la Vella.
The journey from the airport to Andorra takes around 2 hours and 45 minutes by car and 3 hours 15 by public transport, requiring just one bus. If you want to save on domestic flights, this is the perfect option.
Barcelona is the 2nd biggest airport in Spain, just after Madrid, and it offers a wide array of direct flights from countries like the UK, US and UAE.
Lleida–Alguaire Airport
Another popular Spanish destination is Lleida.
It's a beautiful Spanish city known for its architecture, natural scenery and stargazing opportunities. Just like Andorra la Vella, it's the ideal location for someone wanting a peaceful holiday with gorgeous views, making it the perfect stop before getting to Andorra.
It takes just over 2 hours and 15 minutes from ILD to reach Andorra la Vella by car. No public transport routes are available, so your best bet would be to rent a car or get a taxi.
