Discover Andorra

A tiny country nestled in the Pyrenees, Andorra is one of the oldest nations in Europe. Set up by Charlemagne in the eighth century as a buffer between France and the Islamic Moors, it became an independent, democratic principality in 1993. It’s the only country in the world with Catalan as its official language, although Spanish is also widely spoken, as is basic English in some touristy places.
The capital, Andorra la Vella, offers a few sights and some good shopping, while next-door Escaldes-Engordany lays claim to the biggest thermal spa in Europe. Duty-free shopping, winter sports and summer hiking are the main attractions of this picturesque alpine nation: to the northwest is the popular ski resort of Pal-Arinsal, while the hills around Ordino boast excellent trails and breathtaking valley views. East of Ordino, a road weaves through jaw-dropping mountainscapes to Canillo, home to a captivating Romansque chapel, and near the French border are sleepy Soldeu and the busy ski slopes of Grandvalira.

The journey from London to Gerona and Toulouse by Eurolines

Eurolines in their winter timetable, have launched quite frequent connections to Gerona and Toulouse. Transport from London to France and Spain is carried out with traditional Eurolines’ vehicles. All Eurolines’ coaches have on-board toilets, reclining seats and air-conditioning as standard. The Eurolines service to Toulouse requires a change at Lille and you may need to change in Tours, and the Eurolines service to Gerona requires a change at Lille or Lyon.
Sometimes the coach that picks you up from your departure point has only the final destination displayed on the front windscreen. This is because the majority of Eurolines routes include multiple stops and it would be impractical to display every stop on the front windscreen. Also, you may have booked a journey which requires a change of coach. In both examples, please ask the driver to confirm that his/her coach is going to the destination stated on your ticket.
Eurolines put the safety and comfort of passengers first, so the vehicles are equipped with a large number of safeguards. The operators are using modern vehicles with large panoramic windows and increased legroom.
Eurolines coach services depart from Victoria Coach Station in London which is located close to Victoria Underground and bus stations. Eurolines coaches arrive and depart at Toulouse at Gare Matabiau, and the bus station in Gerona. Buy a ticket online now.

Sea crossings

This route involves a sea crossing which, depending on which service you are on, will be either by Eurotunnel or by ferry (check timetables for specific information). On arrival at the ferry port or Eurotunnel terminal customers will be required to disembark from the coach and pass through both UK and destination country Border Control offices and show their passports. Normally customers are not required to be accompanied by their luggage, however occasionally Border Control officials do require customers to take their own luggage with them.

Refreshment stops are taken periodically throughout the journey providing the opportunity for refreshment and shipping services. Eurolines provide a range of shops, restaurants and other facilities.

You will be given the exact time of departure from your resort when you reconfirm your return departure time and day by calling the bus company (+376) 803 789. You must do this at least one working day before departure from Andorra. Failing to do so will mean that the bus will not come and pick you up! (applies to door-to-door transfers only).

Carriage of luggage

All Eurolines and Novatel customers must label their luggage which will be loaded into the hold of the coach and will normally remain there until arrival at the destination or interchange point. The coach driver will load and unload customers’ luggage but customers are responsible for seeing their own luggage onto and off the coach on which they are travelling.

Travel insurance

The best way to protect against unexpected accidents is to buy travel insurance. In my opinion, so that the journey is stress-free, you should never travel without travel insurance. You can insure only for travel, it’s possible directly on the Eurolines website, during ticket purchase. You can also insure individually with another insurer. This will be the insurance that will apply during the journey and while in a foreign country. The insurance should cover: loss of cash and goods, cancellation of travel and medical treatment abroad. If you travel several times a year and want to save money, you may want to buy an annual insurance policy. Click here to buy insurance.
