Preparing your own food [there are no markets] and camping, barebones budget travellers in Andorra should expect to spend at least €30.00 , but this would be hard to keep up for any length of time. A more realistic budget, allowing a warm bed, a few restaurant meals and the periodic ski excursion, would be between €50.00 - €75.00 per day. At the tip-top end of the scale, there are few hotels and scarcely any restaurants. Unless you're seduced by all that duty-free shopping, it's an effort to shell out more than >- €150.00 per day.

Andorra uses the Euro as its currency, though French francs and Spanish pesetas may still be in use. Prices are almost always quoted in pesetas, and you'll find the exchange rate for francs in shops and restaurants is seldom in your favor. Service charges are usually included in most bills, but porters and waiters expect a further tip of 10%.

Andorra's very low tax regime has made it famous as a duty-free bazaar for electronic goods, cameras and alcohol. While today's prices no longer justify a special trip, you can still find prices 30% below those in Spain and France if you shop around.
