50 free Andorra trivia questions with answers — geography quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Andorra is 468 square kilometres of Pyrenees ruled jointly by a Spanish bishop and the President of France, an arrangement that dates from a treaty of 1278 and still works. This quiz covers the country's oddities and its history: the charter tradition ascribes to Charlemagne, the paréages, the tribute of hams and cheeses paid to the bishop, the second-oldest parliament in Europe, the 1993 constitution and the day an adventurer proclaimed himself King Boris I and declared war on the bishop. There are questions on geography too, from Coma Pedrosa and Europe's highest capital to Pas de la Casa on the French border and the roadless UNESCO valley of Madriu-Perafita-Claror, and on modern Andorra: the euro without EU membership, tourism at 80 percent of GDP, the ski slopes, tobacco, the banks, Radio Andorra, Catalan at Eurovision, the national football team's rare wins and Gerard Piqué's FC Andorra. Escudella, trinxat, Meritxell Day and the sardana round it out. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's articles on Andorra, its parishes, institutions and history, so the dates and heights are reliable.
