　　The small Barri Antic (intrusively and artificially bisected by Avinguda del Príncep Benlloch) was the heart of Andorra la Vella back when the principality's capital was little more than a village. The narrow cobbled streets around the historic Casa de la Vall are flanked by attractive stone houses.

Must-see attractions

Casa de la Vall

　　Constructed in 1580 as a home for a wealthy family, this graceful stone mansion served as Andorra's parliament building from 1702 until as recently as 2011. The Sala del Consell, upstairs, must have been one of the world's cosiest parliament chambers; it's now used only very occasionally. Its Armari de...

Església de Sant Esteve

　　These days aligned north–south, Andorra la Vella's parish church dates from the 12th century.

The slender 12th-century Lombard bell tower still stands intact, though most of the remainder has been modified over the centuries. Free guided visits operate in summer.

Museu Nacional de l'Automòbil

　　A trip to Andorra's National Automobile Museum will have classic revheads wishing they could take one of the 80 vintage cars or numerous antique motorcycles for a spin around the Pyrenees. Also on display are over 100 bicycles, from old bone-rattlers to sleek racers. It's 6.5km northeast of Andorra la...
