When planning a trip to Tenerife, it’s important to be aware of the local currency, especially if you’re looking to enjoy the local markets, restaurants, and attractions. Given that Tenerife is part of Spain and, by extension, the Eurozone, could you please clarify what the local currency is in Tenerife? Additionally, are there any tips for exchanging money or using credit cards on the island that would be helpful for a visitor?
Answer
The local currency in Tenerife is the Euro. Tenerife is part of Spain, which uses the Euro as its official money. When you visit, you’ll find that shops, restaurants, and markets all accept Euros. It’s a good idea to have some cash on hand for small purchases, but credit and debit cards are widely accepted too. ATMs are available throughout the island, making it easy to withdraw money as needed. Enjoy your time in Tenerife!
