Andorra is a small, landlocked country in the Pyrenees mountains between France and Spain in southwestern Europe.

Quick Scoop: Where Andorra Is

  • Andorra sits high in the eastern Pyrenees mountain range, on the Iberian Peninsula.
  • It is bordered by France to the north (and northeast) and Spain to the south (and southwest).
  • The country lies in southwestern Europe and is considered a European microstate due to its very small area of about 468 km².
  • Its capital, Andorra la Vella, is one of Europe’s highest capitals and is also tucked into these mountain valleys.
  • Politically it is a parliamentary coprincipality, officially called the Principality of Andorra.

If you picture a map of Europe, look at the mountain strip between Spain and France: Andorra is that tiny high‑altitude state nestled right in those central Pyrenees valleys.
