The closest airport, with the official name Andorra-La Seu Airport (LEU), is located in La Seu d’Urgell, a town bordering our country, and the capital of the Alt Urgell region (in the province of Lleida). This high mountain airfield has the navigation technology necessary to offer flights all year round.

The first to Madrid, which allows its passengers to use a wide range of international and intercontinental connections. Private flights can also be made from Andorra - La Seu Airport.

The proximity to the urban center of Andorra is achieved through the communication network: buses, cars and taxis will allow you to move around the Principality.
Two regular lines connect the parishes and the main stops are on the busiest roads in the urban centres. The tickets can be bought on the bus itself. The services usually run from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Express bus: his is the fastest, most frequent line which connects the urban centres of each parish to the capital. The route crosses the country on side roads to avoid the town and village centres. The express bus is identified by its orange colour, and the stops are located in the outskirts of the towns and villages.
Interurban lines: The interurban public transport service connects all of the towns on six different lines crossing the urban centres. Each parish has a municipal transport service which connects the small villages not covered on the main routes. You will find the stops in the main streets and avenues of the urban centres. www.transportpublic.ad
Unlike other countries of Europe, the taxi service is usually given from the taxi ranks or by booking by telephone. The taxi ranks are generally in the most central streets of the shopping areas.
