Eating from markets and sleeping in tents, barebones budget travellers in Andorra should expect to spend at least US$10-15 per day, 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 US$40-70 per day. If you come in search of opulence, you should plan on shelling out nearly as much as you would in Paris or Barcelona: US$100 per day would just be scratching the surface. Andorra has no currency of its own, so locals trade mainly in French francs and Spanish pesetas. 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.
