Casa de la Vall offers guided tours to discover its rich history. You can check updated opening times and book your place through the tourism office of Andorra. You can also call +376 821 424.
Casa de la Vall generally has a small admission fee that includes the guided tour. We recommend checking current prices and possible discounts on the website of Andorra la Vella Tourism or directly on arrival.
The guided tour of Casa de la Vall usually lasts between 30 and 45 minutes. It is the perfect amount of time to soak up its history without feeling too long, while still leaving you time to enjoy the rest of Andorra la Vella.
Casa de la Vall was the seat of the General Council, the Andorran parliament, for centuries, from 1702 to 2011. It is a living symbol of Andorra’s history, democracy, and independence, and it houses ancient documents such as the Manual Digest.
For a quieter visit, we recommend going during the low season (outside summer and holidays) or early in the morning. Spring and autumn are usually ideal because of the weather and the lower number of tourists.
Because of its age, accessibility at Casa de la Vall may be limited, especially in some areas. It is advisable to contact the Andorra la Vella tourism office directly (+376 821 424) for specific information about accessibility and possible adaptations.
After Casa de la Vall, you can explore the old town of Andorra la Vella, with its cobbled streets and shops. Very close by you will find the Church of Sant Esteve, La Margineda Bridge, or simply enjoy the shops and restaurants of the capital.
I recommend booking your guided tour in advance, especially in high season, to secure your place. And do not forget your camera. The exterior and some interior details are very photogenic, although you should ask about photography restrictions inside.
