There are no railways, ports, or airports in Andorra. There are heliports in La Massana, Arinsal and Escaldes-Engordany with commercial helicopter services. Nearby airports are located in Barcelona, Toulouse, Perpignan, Reus, and Girona. The closest public airport is Perpignan - Rivesaltes Airport, which is 160 km (99 mi) away and has short-haul services to several destinations in the United Kingdom and France. La Seu d'Urgell Airport, a small airfield 12 km (7 mi) south of Andorra currently used only by private airplanes, is being studied by the Catalan government as a possible future airport for public aviation services.
The nearest railway stations are L'Hospitalet-près-l'Andorre 10 km (6 mi) northeast of Andorra, which links to French high-speed trains to Paris via Toulouse, and Latour-de-Carol 25 km (16 mi) east of Andorra, which has a scenic narrow-gauge trainline to Villefranche-de-Conflent connecting to Perpignan, and also a 1,688 mm (66 in)-gauge line to Barcelona operated by Spanish Railways.
