The Sanctuary Basilica of Our Lady of Meritxell, dedicated to Andorra's patron saint, is generally accessible to all visitors, including those with mobility issues, offering a serene spiritual and cultural experience. Entry is free, though donations are appreciated. A typical visit lasts between 30 minutes to an hour, allowing time to appreciate the modern architecture that replaced the original Romanesque chapel after a fire, and to see the revered statue. The site is open year-round, though checking mass times or special event schedules is advisable, particularly during winter when road conditions in mountainous Andorra can vary. While guided tours can be arranged, the sanctuary is easily explored independently. It serves as an important pilgrimage site and offers a peaceful respite, with a small museum often nearby providing further historical context.
