Getting Around

Tenerife is easy to navigate. The public buses are a cheap way for visitors to explore the island. They are comfortable and air-conditioned which leave from most of the main resorts regularly and stop at the island’s most famous attractions. The smaller, local buses are slightly less reliable. Most holidaymakers tend to use taxis and hire cars as it offers that extra flexibility during your stay however. Hiring a car is cheap, easy, and highly recommended. The island’s main roads are easy to navigate and well looked after, and for reference, driving is on the left.
