29 things to do in Andorra

1- Visit some of its 44 Romanesque churches, such as the church of Sant Climent, in Pal, or the church of Sant Romà, in Les Bons. They have a unique charm.

2- Be a child again for a day throwing yourself on the Tobotronc, the longest alpine slide in the world (5 km of length). And if adrenaline allows it, you can enjoy Naturlandia the rest of the day.

3- Demonstrate your driving skills driving a kart on ice. Which, by the way, is more difficult than it seems.

7- Go shopping in Andorra la Vella and go crazy with the tax-free prices in many of its products. 

8- Visit the most beautiful and green villages you can imagine, such as Pal, Bixessarri or Ordino. I recommend you make a route by car and visit several of them the same day.

9- Do some favors to your friends and family by bringing tobacco to everyone. But watch out by the amounts, which are very peaceful at the border, but you can drop a fine if you go over units. Remember, you can only pass 1 and a half cartons of cigarettes per person.

11- Discover that one of the most charming Romanesque villages in Andorra has a cookie name: Fontaneda.
