Avinguda Meritxell
Avinguda de Meritxell
Andorra la Vella's busiest duty-free shopping street, linking to Carrer de Carlemany. It has department stores, electronics shops, perfume shops and sports stores.
Avinguda de Meritxell is the main shopping street in Andorra la Vella. It extends east into Carrer de Carlemany in Escaldes-Engordany, and the two streets together stretch about 2 km, mostly pedestrianised. Andorra's low tax rates mean perfume, cosmetics, alcohol, tobacco, electronics and ski equipment are generally cheaper than in neighbouring countries. The Pyrénées department store is a local landmark. When leaving for Spain or France, there are duty-free limits on alcohol and tobacco, and customs officers may check, so keep purchases within the limits.
Opening hours
