Airport travel guide
Home to some of the Canary archipelago’s most interesting cities, nicest resorts, splendid beaches, and Spain’s highest peak, which is also an active volcano and a national park, Tenerife is simply a tourist magnet. Here are three of its most interesting attractions:
- Mount Teide. Named after the aforementioned volcano that’s the highest point in Spain, Mount Teide is a highlight of any trip to Tenerife. There is a cable car taking you almost to the very peak (there is a parking lot at the lower end of its route), but be aware that it is quite often canceled due to bad weather. Tickets for the cable car tend to sell out quickly, so it’s best to book them in advance.
- Teide National Park. However, Teide is not just the mountain, but it is also the national park that surrounds it, taking up a large portion of the island’s northern interior. A prime year-round hiking destination with a large network of trails, it is also home to attractions like the Teide Observatory, as well as a variety of endemic flora and fauna species.
- Los Gigantes. Named after the impressive coastal cliffs and boasting some of the best accommodation options, Los Gigantes is one of the most popular tourist hubs in the southwestern part of the island. A number of lovely beaches are just a short drive away, and if you’re visiting during February, don’t miss the town’s annual carnival.

Will definitely recommend hiring a car if you want to see and enjoy the best ofTenerife.
Majority of the roads on the mountain terrians are curvy and narrow. The highway is easy to drive on as it is similar to the UK motorways.

Tenerife is amazing. You can go shopping, clubbing and can eat at various great restaurants. However, if you want to unwind you can hike the lush forests in the north, chill on a beach, snorkel, take a boat, whatever. This island has it all.

For Tenerife car renting is ideal decision if you whish to travel more and see whole island. Differencies between south and north of the island are described everywhere on internet and renting of the car gave us freedom on plans. Complication is only with parking withing Teide national park due to high number of visitors especially during the daytime.

I think the two must have in Tenerife are Loro Park and Teide for those a car would definitely comes handy. Search on Maps for Mirador those are sweet spots where you can see a lovely view of a city or sunset. Many of them are hidden but very beautiful.
Driving overall not that difficult in Tenerife, some roads can be tricky in the mountains but with careful speed limits it is ok.
