Until the 20th century, Andorra had very limited transport links to the outside world, and development of the country was affected by its physical isolation. Even now, the nearest major airports at Toulouse and Barcelona are both three hours' drive from Andorra.

Andorra has a road network of {{convert|279|km|0|abbr=on}}, of which {{convert|76|km|0|abbr=on}} is unpaved. The two main roads out of [[Andorra la Vella]] are the CG-1 to the [[Andorra–Spain border|Spanish border]] near [[Sant Julià de Lòria]], and the CG-2 to the [[Andorra–France border|French border]] via the Envalira Tunnel near [[El Pas de la Casa]].<ref name="mobi">{{cite web|url=http://www.mobilitat.ad/CA/default.asp|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071206123122/http://www.mobilitat.ad/CA/default.asp|archive-date=6 December 2007|title=Agència de Mobilitat, Govern d'Andorra |publisher=Mobilitat.ad}}</ref> Bus services cover all metropolitan areas and many rural communities, with services on most major routes running half-hourly or more frequently during peak travel times. There are frequent long-distance bus services from Andorra to [[Barcelona]] and [[Toulouse]], plus a daily tour from the former city. Bus services mostly are run by private companies, but some local ones are operated by the government.
