Is Tenerife Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Group travel

I had an amazing time in tenerife I went with a few girls and it was amazing, we went onto the strip veronicas, which you have to be very careful on if you know what I mean, do you own research but if you are alert and not silly you will be fine

A beautiful island with beautiful black beaches. Perfect for a few days of stress relief. The only place I didn't feel perfectly well in was El Fraile. I had an Airbnb there and I wouldn't choose the same town if I came back to Tenerife.

I felt safe in Tenerife, although I’m not sure if it was because of the island itself or because I was with my boyfriend. I highly recommend going kayaking to see turtles and dolphins, such an unforgettable experience ! There are plenty of great activities on GetYourGuide, and I also took a trip to Mount Teide for the sunset and stargazing, which was magical. When it comes to restaurants, be cautious, there are many tourist traps where servers stop you in the street, make you believe they’re...

We spent about 10 days in Tenerife and traveled as a couple. We stayed in an upper-range hotel, so definitely not low budget. One of the best decisions we made was renting a motorbike and exploring the island that way—we visited lots of different beaches and enjoyed the freedom it gave us. One absolute must-see is the El Teide and the national park surrounding it. The ride through the park is beautiful and really enjoyable. Renting a car—or even better, a motorbike—is highly recommended. Just...

Solo travel

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.

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

Solo travel

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

Group travel

It is like paradise. An amazing place with amazing people and experiences. I recommend it 100%. Mountain volcano Teinte and its clear starview is one of my best life experience! Locals are very friendly and warm!

Had such an amazing time away with friends Great weather Stayed in las pirimades the second visit and the first visit in Laguna park 2 - both cheap and not brilliant but did the job for what we were expecting - Laguna park 2 had the edge Water sports were available we did jet skiing and parasailing Siam park was the best water park Iv ever visited Drinks were cheap and the strip was great - I felt safe the whole time

As a local, I can say that Tenerife is safe in general, even more during the day, but it’s the most populated island in the Canary Islands and there are lots of people of all kinds partying especially in the south (Las Verónicas, Los Cristianos, Arona, Adeje…), u need to be careful in these places because there's also more drug dealing, prostitution and crimes in general due to the nightlife. It's also advisable to be careful or simply avoid some neighborhoods that are neither touristy nor very...

Sometimes the city arent big or the bus stops dont have a time table. So you might feel a but incure if ypure at the right place or when exactly the bus is coming. Not always sidewalks, genereally not great to walk big distances. But do far everyone was very friendly.

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.
