How safe is Tenerife?
You can walk with valuable jewellery or smartphone safely almost in every place of the island. There are some places such as el Fraile, San Isidro, Añaza or La cuesta (neighbourhood) that are a little less safe if you are not a local and you go there during the evening or night, but nothing serious in comparison to other "not that safe" places of Europe. In general you feel safe and welcomed. Locals are very kind.
Posted: April 7, 2024Tenerife is very safe, rarely do things happen here. If you are responsible and careful, it is very likely that nothing will happen, it is a very safe island even in the early hours of the morning. I have been going out a lot alone, accompanied, in a group, with strangers, and nothing has ever happened to me.

I did my ersus in tenerife and its incredible. Want to use this space to warn people to be RESPECTFUL with the locals!! Tenerife has a huge tourist problem and its local population is very concerned for it. Avoid airbnb and hotels, don’t go to loroparque (the owner is horrible) and respect the people that live there.

About Me
Hello everybody, I’m an Spanish woman trying to visit new places and practice English. I consider myself as a calm and friendly person. I think that the real essence of a culture or country remains in the rural areas so I would love to visit not very touristic places.
