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.

Tenerife feels safe We stayed at a small town called Abades it’s really quiet and nice theres not a lot of people there so if you’re looking for relaxing vacation abades is a perfect spot its close to capital of Tenerife and we were renting a car so with car it took roughly 15min to get from abades to santa cruz

having an amazing time on the island🌞 was supposed to stay for two weeks, been here since 1 1/2 months now. the locals can be a bit anti tourists and a lot speak very poorly/ no english, especially in the north, but once u get to know them they are lovely
