Everything was wonderful. It felt very safe and the food was good, even the tourist restaurants by the beach were decent. The drinks were also yummy and the people are friendly. Not too crowded in February but the weather was great and the water was warm. Not expensive at all honestly

The city is pretty safe. There are a lot of dancing events on the island, as well as surfing and co-working. We were there while working remotely and our experience was great. It is easy to move around with the local tram application, and the bus gets you pretty much everywhere

The trip was super nice and the weather was amazing. I was with a group of friends and it was super safe. The food was delicious and there is nice activity to do or also nice to relax next to the beach with good sun in winter

Solo travel

My first solo trip was to Tenerife. I wanted to organize a vacation in a hostel, but my anxiety reached its peak. So I decided on 5 nights in a hotel. I planned one trip in advance and the rest of the time that I spent there, I wandered on my own. I am very glad I did, I absolutely loved it.

Tenerife is a peaceful and safe island, but like anywhere else, there are some neighborhoods that can feel a bit more ‘risky,’ usually where people with fewer resources live or where there is drug use or trafficking. However, the areas where tourists usually go are not like that at all. If you ever have any doubts about a neighborhood or a place to stay, feel free to ask me — I’ll be happy to help.” 🌴✨
