Andorra is a tiny mountain principality tucked between France and Spain in the Pyrenees, offering world-class skiing in winter and excellent hiking through unspoilt alpine scenery in summer. Life here is quiet, orderly, and surrounded by nature, which suits those who prefer altitude over coastline. Those looking for cultural depth or urban energy will quickly exhaust what it offers.
- No income tax and no VAT — funds the entire state on tourism duties.
- Life expectancy beats France and Spain despite being a tiny mountain statelet.
- Has had no army since a peace treaty in 1278.
