Andorra is outside of the Schengen zone.

Getting inconsistent results from Rome2Rio, so wonder whether anyone has
knowledge (i.e. NOT guessing) about bus/train/ferry.

Best thing I have so far is buses Burgos to Rennes, train to Cherbourg,
then ferry to Dublin but the schedules are such that one missed
connection will result in a Schengen overstay.

Planes are easy, but the choices are very expensive ticket with some
baggage fees or cheap ticket with HUGE baggage fees.


Buses. For historical reasons there are few long distance buses in France.
