Safety in Andorra
Tips for British travellers
Andorra is tourist-friendly but has some key cultural and legal rules:
It is illegal to drink alcohol in the street.
Be aware that 'date rape' and other drugs can be used to spike drinks, so buy your own and keep sight of them.
Do not keep all your money and valuables in one place, and keep a copy of your passport somewhere safe.
You can get a fine of up to 600 euros and a 2-month driving ban for drink-driving.
Punishment for possession of even the smallest amount of illegal drugs can include refusal of entry, expulsion, fines, and prison sentences.
Bonus tips:
From 1 November to 15 May, you must use winter tyres or carry snow chains in your vehicle.
Hire car companies often require customers to have a year of driving experience, be a higher minimum age, and hold an international driving permit.
