Museo de la Moto, Canillo Parish, Andorra

4.5 (86 reviews) Monday: Spent < 1 hour Ranking #4 in Canillo Speciality Museums

A must-visit museum

Tucked away under-ground, next to the Church on the hill just on the Northern edge of Canillo, is this fascinating motorcycle museum. It is only 5 Euros so get in (parking free in the adjacent car park) and well worth it to see the amazing display of motorbikes through the ages. The lady who greeted us at the door left us to our own devices to have a look round, but was always on hand to answer any questions, have a chat (she spoke English brilliantly), and generally enthuse about the wonderful bikes here. She told us that all the bikes are on loan from local people, and if you take the time to visit here you'll be impressed at the quantity and quality on show and you don't have to be a petrol-head or a motorcycle enthusiast to appreciate this. Pop in and see for yourself, you won't be disappointed.

The best €3 you'll spend in Andorra!
This little gem of a motorcycle museum is hidden underneath the carpark for the church of St Joan de Casalles, and is fairly well signposted from the main road. Go down the stairs into the museum and the staff are very friendly, happily looking after helmet and rucksack if you're thus encumbered. The museum itself if full of an eclectic mix of motorcycles from the 1900's to the 80's, some beautifully restored and some in nice original condition. From the 20's BSA "Round Tank", via some beautiful European models to the Vincent Black Shadow and then the Z1300 with King n' Queen seat, there's something for everyone here! My personal favorite had to be the 50's Velocette police bike with a fairing the size of a barn door and a thermos flask hidden behind it. There is also an extensive display of trials bikes from different eras, and some cool 50's scooters. As you drive through Andorra, even if you're not a motorcycle enthusiast, you really should stop off here for half an hour or so...

Closed on Tuesdays in mid-May
It was such a pity that we found this museum closed on the Tuesday that we passed through Canillo. We would have loved to see the motorcycles! It was well marked, though, and had a large parking area right next to the church.
