Museums in Andorra: Complete Guide with Prices, Hours and Real Opinion

Andorra has more than 20 museums spread across just 468 km². Proportionally, it’s one of the countries with the most museums per square kilometre in Europe. And yet most people come here thinking only about skiing and shopping.

What you won’t find on any other website is all the museums with real prices, updated hours, and organised by area so you can plan based on where you’re staying. That’s exactly what you have here.

Note: Prices and hours in this article are verified as of March 2026, but may change. Before your visit, always check the official website of each museum or museus.ad to confirm the information.

The PassMuseu Trick: Save 50% on 3 Museums

Before getting into the details, this is the first thing you need to know: there is a PassMuseu, a passport that costs just €2.50 and gives you a 50% discount on entry to 3 museums of your choice from among the almost 20 that participate.

You can buy it at any tourist office or at the entrance to any museum. It’s personal and non-transferable, valid for one year. If you plan to visit three or more museums, it’s pointless not to get it.

Another fact few people know: children under 10 get in free to all of Andorra’s museums.

Museums by Area: Plan Your Visit

I’ve organised the museums by parish (Andorra’s administrative divisions, similar to municipalities) so you can make the most of your visit based on where you are.

Andorra la Vella (the capital)

Bici Lab Andorra: The Bicycle Museum

This is not a conventional museum. It’s a 1,700 m² space dedicated to cycling culture, with one of the best collections of historic bicycles in the world: more than 300 pieces, from the first wooden draisines of 1817 to the latest electric bikes.

The best part is that you don’t just look: there are virtual reality simulators where you can experience a descent on the Vallnord Bikepark or climb the Coll d’Ordino without moving. The temporary exhibitions (on the ground floor) are free and rotate regularly.

It’s an interesting plan if you’re into cycling: seeing models from every era is fascinating and can easily rescue a rainy afternoon. If cycling doesn’t interest you at all, it might not be your first choice.

Address: Carrer Prat de la Creu, 68-70, Andorra la Vella
Hours: Tuesday to Saturday 10 a.m.–6 p.m. (April to October also Sundays)
Price: €5 general, €2.50 reduced. Free for under 10s, over 65s, youth card holders, and people with disabilities
Tip: If you arrive by bicycle, entry is free. Also free on the first and third Saturday of each month for residents.

Casa de la Vall: The Former Parliament

Built in the 16th century, this was the seat of the Consell General (the Andorran parliament) from 1702 to 2011. It’s the most emblematic building in Andorra’s political history. Visits are guided and include the former parliament chamber, carved woodwork, and historic coats of arms. A quick way to understand how Andorran politics worked for centuries.

Address: Carrer de la Vall, Andorra la Vella
Hours: Tuesday to Saturday 9:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. and 3–6:30 p.m. Sundays 10 a.m.–2 p.m. Closed Mondays.
Price: Check the website or tourist office
Website: museus.ad

Espai Columba: Romanesque Art

This museum preserves the 12th-century Romanesque murals from the church of Santa Coloma. The most spectacular element is a video-mapping projection inside the church showing what the original interior looked like in the 12th century. If you’re interested in medieval art or Pyrenean Romanesque, it’s a must-see.

Address: Andorra la Vella (next to Santa Coloma church)
Price: €7 general, €3.50 reduced. Free for under 10s.
Hours: Check museus.ad

Government Exhibition Hall, Parc Central (FREE)

Located inside Parc Central, this roughly 400 m² space hosts rotating contemporary art exhibitions. I’ve been to several and the quality is usually good: from historic Andorran photography to international artists. The best part: always free.

Parc Central itself is worth a stroll: outdoor sculptures, a lake, a playground, and the largest green space in the capital.

Address: Parc Central, Andorra la Vella
Price: Free
Hours: Varies by exhibition

Escaldes-Engordany

Carmen Thyssen Andorra Museum: The Country’s Cultural Gem

The most important museum in Andorra in terms of art. Located on the ground floor of the former Hotel Valira (a 1933 building with typical Andorran granite architecture), it exhibits works from the Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection: 19th and 20th-century paintings with names like Gauguin, Matisse, and Monet.

Exhibitions are temporary and change every year, so each visit is different. The audioguide is included in the price and available in six languages. Nominated by UNESCO as best new European museum in 2018.

I still have it on my to-do list. I plan to visit when they inaugurate the expansion in the new Node building, which promises to make it an even more complete space.

Address: Avenida Carlemany, 37, Escaldes-Engordany
Hours: Tuesday to Friday 10 a.m.–6 p.m., Saturdays 10 a.m.–7 p.m., Sundays 10 a.m.–2 p.m. Closed Mondays.
Price: €9 general, €5 reduced (over 65s and youth card). Under 18s free. Audioguide included.
Website: museucarmenthyssenandorra.ad

Espai Caldes / Escaldes-Engordany Art Centre (FREE)

Another rotating temporary exhibition space, similar to the Government Hall in Andorra la Vella. I’ve been to several and they’re usually interesting. A bonus: they often offer free guided tours, which is unusual to find for free anywhere. Always worth popping in to see what’s on.

Address: Escaldes-Engordany
Price: Free
Hours: Varies by exhibition

Perfume Museum

Located in the Centre Júlia, this museum takes you through the history of perfume across six spaces featuring essences, aromas, and an audiovisual. It’s a sensory museum: you don’t just look, you smell. Interesting if you enjoy fragrances or simply want something different.

Address: Centre Júlia, Escaldes-Engordany
Price: Included with PassMuseu
Hours: Check the tourist office

Electricity Museum (MW)

In the FEDA (Andorran Electric Forces) building, this museum explains the history of electricity production in Andorra. It has interactive experiments and you can see the original 1934 generators. From May to September it includes a visit to the Engolasters Hydroelectric Trail, a mountain walk to the dam.

Address: On the road out of Escaldes towards Encamp
Hours: Tuesday to Saturday 9:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. and 3–6:30 p.m. Sundays 10 a.m.–2 p.m.
Price: €5 general, €2.50 reduced. Includes the Hydroelectric Trail (in season).

Ordino

Casa d’Areny-Plandolit: The Manor House

One of Andorra’s most emblematic museums. This 17th-century house shows how the country’s most influential family lived during the 19th and 20th centuries. The original furniture is preserved, and there’s a collection of crockery that surprises with its quality. Includes a walk through the gardens, where the former Animal Museum (now the National Auditorium) also stood.

Address: Carrer Major, Ordino
Hours: Tuesday to Saturday 9:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. and 3–6:30 p.m. Sundays 10 a.m.–2 p.m. Closed Mondays.
Price: €5 general, €2.50 reduced
Duration: About 45 minutes

Miniature Museum

A collection of micro-miniatures made with gold, platinum, seeds, and even grains of rice by the artist Nicolai Siadristy. It’s tiny but astonishing: you need microscopes to appreciate the pieces. Something completely unique.

Address: Ordino
Hours: Tuesday to Saturday 9:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. and 3–6:30 p.m. Sundays 10 a.m.–2 p.m.
Price: Included with PassMuseu

Andorra Postal Museum

In the Borda del Raser in Ordino, this museum charts the history of postal service in Andorra with a philatelic collection from 1928. If you like stamps or postal history, it’s unique. If not, it’s a quick but curious visit.

Address: Borda del Raser, Carrer Major, Ordino
Hours: Tuesday to Saturday 9:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. and 3–6:30 p.m. Sundays 10 a.m.–2 p.m.
Price: Included with PassMuseu

Cal Pal: Sawmill and Millstone

An example of Andorra’s pre-industrial past linked to water use. Located in the village of Pal, it shows how a historic sawmill operated.

Address: Pal (Ordino)
Price: Included with PassMuseu

La Massana

Casa Rull: Rural Life in the Pyrenees

Another ethnographic museum showing how a prosperous farming family lived until the early 20th century. Don’t expect luxury: the point is to understand how rural Andorran life worked, where the house and its assets took precedence over the individual.

Address: Carrer Major, Sispony
Hours: Tuesday to Saturday 9:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. and 3–6:30 p.m. Sundays 10 a.m.–2 p.m. Closed Mondays.
Price: €5 general, €2.50 reduced
Duration: About 1 hour

La Farga Rossell: The Forge

One of the last active forges in Andorra (it operated between 1842 and 1876). An interpretation centre where you can see firsthand how iron ore was transformed into ingots. Especially recommended for families with children: the live demonstration is entertaining.

Address: La Massana
Price: €5 general, €2.50 reduced

Comic Museum: Joan Pieras

In the Plaça de les Fontetes in La Massana. A cult spot for comics fans. Small but charming.

Address: Plaça de les Fontetes, La Massana
Price: Included with PassMuseu

Encamp

National Automobile Museum

If you like cars, this museum has an impressive collection of classic cars and historic bicycles. One of the most important automobile collections in Europe. Ranges from elegant vintage cars to iconic sports models.

Address: Avinguda de Joan Martí, 64, Encamp
Price: Included with PassMuseu

Sacred Art Museum

A small museum with liturgical objects from Encamp’s churches, divided into three rooms: goldsmithing, textiles, and paper. For those interested in religious art.

Address: Encamp
Price: Included with PassMuseu

Motorcycle Museum

More than a hundred motorcycles from every era, located in the Canillo cable car building. Complements the Automobile Museum well if you’re into motors.

Address: Canillo cable car (Encamp)
Price: Included with PassMuseu

Canillo

Espai Galobardes

Exhibition space in the Canillo cable car featuring works by Francesc Galobardes and other artists. A small but pleasant space if you’re in the ski area.

Address: Canillo cable car
Price: Included with PassMuseu

Free Spaces You Can’t Miss

If you’re on a tight budget or simply want culture without paying, these spaces are always free:

Government Exhibition Hall (Parc Central, Andorra la Vella): rotating contemporary art exhibitions
Espai Caldes / Escaldes-Engordany Art Centre: rotating temporary exhibitions
Bici Lab temporary exhibitions: the ground floor is free and always has something interesting
Parc Central outdoor sculptures: permanent public art

Museums You Can Skip If You’re Short on Time

If you only have an afternoon, don’t try to see everything. These museums are fine but skippable if you have to choose:

Sacred Art Museum (Encamp): Very small and very specific. Only if you’re genuinely interested in religious art.
Postal Museum (Ordino): Curious but minor. A 15-minute visit that doesn’t justify the trip on its own.
Espai Galobardes (Canillo): Fine if you’re in the ski area, but not worth a dedicated trip.

If you can only visit three, my recommendation would be: Carmen Thyssen for artistic quality, Bici Lab for its interactive and different approach, and Casa d’Areny-Plandolit for real Andorran historical context.

Practical Tips

On Mondays, almost everything is closed. The vast majority of Andorra’s museums close on Mondays. Plan accordingly.

Split hours. Many museums (especially in Ordino and La Massana) close at midday, usually from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. Don’t show up at 2 p.m. expecting them to be open.

Under 10s are always free. In all museums, without exception.

The PassMuseu is worth it. For €2.50 you save 50% on three museums. If you visit Carmen Thyssen (€9), Bici Lab (€5), and Casa Rull (€5), you pay €12 instead of €19. The €2.50 for the passport pays for itself on the first visit.

Last entry 30 minutes before closing. This applies to almost all museums, especially the Carmen Thyssen.

Always check the website before you go. Hours can change for local holidays (each parish has its own major festivals when everything closes). The official website museus.ad is the most reliable reference.
