Andorra is a country highly recognized for being framed by the Pyrenees, a lush natural landscape. This makes it a country with a wide variety of possible activities and it is very common for new residents to want information about public transport in Andorra. So, below, we show you all the options available.
Andorra public transport: all connections
In terms of service categories, the public transport system is divided into two main types: the express bus and the intercity lines. The express bus, identified by its orange color, is the fastest and most direct option connecting urban areas such as Escaldes-Engordany and Sant Julià de Lòria with Andorra la Vella. This service uses secondary routes that go around the urban centers and has stops on the outskirts of the towns.
On the other hand, the interurban lines link all the parishes and main towns through routes that cross the urban centers. In addition, you can buy tickets directly on the bus, to save you worries. However, bear in mind that they are usually active from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Pay attention to the following bus lines in order to be able to organize your day to day.
