It’s home to Europe’s highest capital city

Andorra la Vella (Catalan for "Old Andorra"), French Andorre la Vieille, Spanish Andorra la Vieja, a town in the autonomous coprincipality of Andorra. It is located in the narrow Gran Valira valley, on the southern slopes of the Pyrenees, near the junction of the Valira and Valira del Norte rivers. Andorra la Vella has historically been somewhat secluded from the rest of the globe. Its development began in the 1930s with the construction of carriage roads, and its population grew after World War II as the tourism sector expanded. Andorra la Vella was converted from a pastoral hamlet to a bustling commercial center catering to shopping and visitors in the 1960s and 1970s. Winter sports facilities are nearby. Because of Andorra's duty-free status, the town has become predominantly a retail shopping center for items imported from other parts of Europe and Asia. Andorra's parliament, the General Council, meets in Andorra la Vella. The town is connected by road to the Spanish and French borders, and it is influenced by both cultures.

Andorra la Vella's attractive mountainous city is recognized for its lush green mountains in the summer and superb ski slopes in the winter, but that's not all. It also has the distinction of being Europe's tallest capital. It is not only the highest capital city but also the tenth highest city on the continent, at a height of 1,023 meters.
