How?

Don't think about the train, because there is not any train going there and actually there is not any railway in this country,
No Airport also there,
So you should take the road and the best way to visit Andorra from Barcelona is by taking a tour.
Why Tour? because I could see that most of the travelers from Barcelona have limited free time there and for such a limited time it is very difficult for them to take any other option than the tour. Just imagine you should figure out everything like a visa, border control, costumes, insurance, itinerary, choosing the best road to go there depending on the time of year,.... )

Andorra from Barceona? How long does it take?

There is not one answer to this question, because the answer depends to :

  1. which road you are taking
  2. at what time you are starting from Barcelona
  3. on which day
  4. which month of a year
  5. and how is the border control on that day

For example, if you are starting from Barcelona at 8:00 in the morning on weekdays, that is the worst time for the start as you need more or less 30 minutes to come out from the city.
Or some days the inspection at the border is taking more than usual and that is completely a line and congestions there.
But the quick answer is if you go directly there, without any stop on a way, the Border of Andorra from Barcelona ( not the Capital Andorra La Vella ) is something between 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours and a half and you should consider the distance as 130 miles from Barcelona to capital of Andorra (Andorra La Vella)

Because doesn't matter which season we are located in, Andorra always has something to admire you because it is located on the top of the Pyrenees Mountain.
But if you would like to stay in Andorra for more than a day for winter activities, the best time is between December and to end of February.
And for the summer activities, the best time is from the end of the May to beginning of July.
