How life in Andorra used to be

We were lucky enough to have a local friend take us to this hidden gem. A time capsule of how a local peasant family would live in the late 19th C in a very lovingly preserved 18th C home. Robert brings to life each floor with his passion, knowledge of local history-and humor! Plan ahead by visiting the website for opening times and try to combine with the lovely nearby church of Sant Miguel

A lovely place!
My 12-year old daughter and I both loved this little gem of a museum. We were the only visitors at the time and were lucky enough to get a private, guided tour in English. Our guide was very nice and provided us with lots of interesting and fun facts about the house and the family who used to live there. After having discussed Andorran food, he also tipped us off about where to eat the best cargols (snails/escargots)in town and which brands of fuet sausage that are the best :) The entrance fee is € 5 for adults, children go for free. The tour took about 30 minutes. The museum’s surroundings are beautiful, too - an old albeit small part of town with stone paved alleys and lovely old houses. We highly recommend a visit. Pay attention to the opening hours, the museum closes for a couple of hours mid-day but re-opens in the afternoon. /Mia and Ingrid from Eslöv, Sweden

Excellent English guide to Andorra's past
The lovely young women at the front desk were quite friendly and one of them offered a comprehensive tour of the home. Her English was excellent and her description of the details in the home- from the cheese maker to the chairs by the fireplace- offered an excellent insight into Andorran life. Would recommend. The toys lasts for half an hour. She also gave me a great 2 for 1 coupon to Grandvalira funicular.
