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 offering you a free starter, and then charge you for it, and often at higher prices than it’s worth. I’d suggest looking for more local, less touristy places to eat. I stayed in Los Cristianos and loved it, very lively, close to many beautiful spots and activities. It’s also super easy to get around by bus, and you can buy day passes that cover the whole island, which I definitely recommend 🏝️

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 keep in mind that the roads in the rural areas can be very narrow. Aside from that, there are many beautiful spots and bays all around the island. We especially enjoyed visiting Garachico In the evenings, we mostly stayed in the more touristy areas, which felt lively and convenient for going out or grabbing dinner.

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.
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.
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.
