How do I get around the island?

I’m planning a trip to the island next month and am quite excited about exploring all it has to offer. However, I’m a little unsure about the best ways to get around once I arrive. Are there any reliable local transport options, such as buses or taxis? Would it be worth considering hiring a bike or even renting a car for more flexibility? Additionally, are there any scenic routes or hidden spots I should keep in mind while travelling around the island? Any tips on navigating the public transport system or recommendations for guided tours would be greatly appreciated! How do I get around the island?

Answer

To get around the island of Tenerife, you have a few great options. You can rent a car, which gives you freedom to explore at your own pace. The roads are mostly good, and signs are clear. You’ll find parking in many places, though busy areas can be tricky.

If driving isn’t for you, public buses are a good choice. They run regularly and connect major towns and attractions. You can buy a Ten+ card to make it easier and cheaper.

Taxis are also available and can take you directly to your destination without hassle. Just remember to check if the taxi is licensed.

For a more relaxed trip, consider bike rentals. The island has some lovely cycling paths. Just be prepared for some hills.

Walking is a nice way to soak in the scenery. Many towns are small and easy to explore on foot.

Whichever way you choose, enjoy the beautiful views and warm weather!
