Traveling by bus from Barcelona to Andorra is, together with the car, the most convenient way to get to the Principality. The journey can last between 3 and 4 hours depending on the departure time.

In Barcelona's Estación Nord there are three bus lines that go to Andorra. One passes through Ponts, another through Solsona and the third through the Tunel del Cadi, but all of them reach Andorra La Vella. On the website of the bus company Alsa you can make the hiring of your tickets and choose the day and time that suits you best.
Also, from the El Prat airport, two bus lines leave regularly for Andorra: one from the Airport (T1 and T2) to Andorra La Vella through the transport company Novatel and the second, from the Airport (T1 and T2) ) through the Sants Station in Barcelona to Andorra La Vella with the Autocars Nadal service.

Traveling by train

Traveling by train from Barcelona to Andorra, although it is a very convenient means of transport to travel, is not the best option since the Principality does not have its own train station and you must take a bus or a taxi to get there. In the case of going by train you must take the Renfe R3 line that goes from Barcelona to Puigcerdà (Girona) and there take a bus to Seu d'Urgell - Andorra .
