Sites of Interest in Tenerife

Teide National park: The mighty Mount Teide silently watches over Tenerife, and the peak and its surroundings are protected within Teide National Park. This UNESCO-listed park is ten miles wide, and the volcano at its centre is the highest point in all of Spain and no Tenerife break is complete without a visit.

Here you’ll find fascinating architecture, brightly painted buildings, a wide range of boutique shops and cozy restaurants, and the most famous building in the Canary Islands - the Auditorio de Tenerife.

Endless stretches of beach: Tenerife is famous for its beautiful beaches. A common misconception is that Tenerife beaches are all black, due to the volcanic activity on the island. It's true that some of the beaches are black sand - though they're still gorgeous and great for sunbathing. However, many of the island's beaches also boast picturesque golden sands - perfect for watersports and soaking up those rays.

Climb Mount Teide: For true adventure-seekers, an ascent to the top of Mount Teide is a must. Be sure to pack a lot of water and some layers as it can get quite chilly at the top. To reach the summit you must apply for a permit online, so as to protect this magnificent mountain.

Nightlife in Tenerife

£££ - Casa Tagoro, Los Cristianos

If you’re looking to splash out a bit during your holiday, Casa Tagoro is a wonderful choice. The restaurant boasts a unique menu, and is included in the Michelin Guide to Tenerife. We recommend the crab pâté, before indulging in the risotto for a tastebud-tantalising experience.

Car hire in Tenerife

Whether or not you need to hire a car in Tenerife depends on what you plan to do during your stay, as well as where you choose to spend your holiday. If you want to stay in your resort for the duration of your trip, you’ll find that there’s little need for a car. However, if you plan to explore the island a little - say, for example, you want to travel from one side of Tenerife to the other to visit Santa cruz - hiring a car would be beneficial.

There are a wide range of car hire companies in Tenerife, some of which you can pre-book online. This means you can pick up your motor at the airport.
