Getting There

The bridge sits dead center in Andorra la Vella. You'll stumble across it naturally while wandering the city center, especially if you're staying in the main commercial area. Just walk toward the river. Most shopping streets point this direction. The area is well-signposted, so navigation couldn't be easier-even for first-time visitors. Park in the nearby commercial districts if you're driving. You'll want to walk the final stretch. The bridge deserves your full attention, and you can't appreciate the details from behind a windshield. Total walking time from most hotels runs under ten minutes.
