Europe's highest capital for skiing and duty-free shopping
Andorra la Vella sits in a Pyrenean valley, Europe's highest capital at 1,023 meters. The city is duty-free (technically not EU), making shopping competitive, but the real appeal is mountain access. Summer brings hikers, winter brings skiers heading to nearby resorts. The old quarter retains Alpine village character despite modern development. It's a practical base rather than a destination in itself, but perfectly functional for mountain-focused visits.
