The Best Places to Visit in Tenerife
MOUNT TEIDE VOLCANO
- Teide National Park is a component of Natura 2000 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2007.
- It is not surprising that visiting the Teide volcano is among the best things to do in Spain, given that it is the highest peak at 3,718 metres.
- Unique species can be found here, including the spring-blooming Echium Wildpretii (Tajinaste) and the Teide violet, a flower that can only be seen above 2,500 metres of elevation.
- The cable car is the quickest way to ascend Mount Teide, but it will drop you 200 metres below the summit.
- You'll need to walk from there to get to the very top. But the effort is worthwhile because, without a doubt, the best thing to do in Tenerife is to be up there and take the rest of the Canary Islands from your feet.
- Although you can get it right away when making a cable car reservation, you must apply for the permit to get to the top.
- You can also look into other Mount Teide tours with the permit.
SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE
- The largest city on Tenerife is Santa Cruz de Tenerife, which has served as the island's capital since 1833.
- You can learn more about the city's distinctive personality by strolling through its historic centre's narrow streets.
- The Market of Our Lady of Africa, visiting the Adan Martin auditorium, and touring the most extensive collection of palm trees in Europe are just a few of the top things to do in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
- If you're travelling during Carnival (usually at the end of February), you shouldn't miss this occasion because it was named a Festival of International Tourist Interest.
- Along with the neoclassical architecture that gives the city its intriguing character, you can also see the castles and towers constructed to defend it from pirates.
- A visit to this fantastic city is undoubtedly among the best things to do in Tenerife North.
- Utilise your time in Santa Cruz de Tenerife to go shopping and sample the local cuisine. One of Tenerife's best places to stay is there.
LOS GIGANTES CLIFFS
- The Los Gigantes Cliffs are magnificent. The 600-meter-high sacred cliffs of the Guanches were created by volcanic rock.
- They can be enjoyed on hiking trails, boat tours, or kayak tours, among other things. The Teno Rural Park's Los Gigantes are part of the region's breathtaking landscapes.
- You can access Los Gigantes through one of the narrow passages that emerge from the cliffs and lead to sandy beaches.
- Divers and fishermen frequent Los Gigantes because of its shallow underwater section, which is only 30 metres long.
- Another of the best things to do in Tenerife is dolphin and whale watching, which is an excellent place to go.
