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.

Tenerife 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.

based on 13 experiences from female travelers

Solo travel

Tenerife was my first travel experience and it went amazing. I was there for one week and have met so nice lovely people. All of them had a easy going way of living. Once we were in Achaman Discopub and they had played lifemusic. The people included us so well and we learned a lot funny spanish dancesteps;)

Family travel

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

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.
