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...

Posted: March 30, 2026Sometimes 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.
Posted: July 14, 2025You 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.
