Learn about getting around to Tenerife attractions, for sightseeing or other...

Getting around from Puerto de la Cruz main bus station to do your own island tours or city tours is easy.

From this central point many towns may be reached and excursions may be done using public TitsaTenerife transport with time tables and detailed options for other departure points.

Generally, Tenerife buses are an excellent option to take tourists around on the island from Puerto de la Cruz.

When not to opt for buses?

1. Short holidays
2. You or your companion is disabled
3. You have a dog, as no animals are
   allowed in buses or taxis

Do yourself a favor and use car rental Tenerife for getting from A to B under the said conditions.
Europcar have good cars, are reliable and have specials almost all the time, besides other advantages.

How find the bus station at Puerto de la Cruz?

It's the light green building opposite the lovely Canary house 'AutoStudio'

Should any of the ticket counters be closed, buy your fare from the conductor or get 12 bus rides at half
price at the tiny shop which sells sweets at the end of the station. This is within the station, not outside.

Bus station changes Puerto de la Cruz

Now almost all Titsa buses assemble behind this green bus station which has been closed. The Santa Cruz buses have their terminal close to the cheap Tenerife Hotel Dania Park Magec. The bus ticket kiosks are opposite the 3 star Hotel Magec. The popular Apartamentos Florida Tenerife apartments are very close to the other end of this bus stop mile. Both hotels are part of most central Puerto de la Cruz hotels for getting around.

Buses to the main city Santa Cruz of Tenerife are #101, 102 and bus 103
Please note, bus #103 express bus stops in very few places and goes along the freeway TF5 mostly.

Not to worry about drinking and driving

Take the convenient coastal bus #101 or #102 from Puerto de la Cruz or from Santa Cruz for getting around to spend a few care free hours at the most amazing Tenerife beer hall at El Sauzal. There, enjoy healthy drinks of Bock whose beer brewery is on the premises while you can watch German beer making and eat the most delicious foods made with beer. Take a cab taxi back to your holiday home in Tenerife home if you miss the last bus...

Bus # 102
goes half hourly to the North airport Los Rodeos

Please, mind to always double check as week-ends and holidays might work out with different schedules.

Even more caution with Titsa required

Also make sure that the Titsa bus number you travelled with last still exists. I find calling information most effective. The alternative is a Titsa route enquiry on their homepage in English. Learn more about Titsa aiport buses from Puerto de la Cruz as from 2011 onwards.

Please, note, that there is the old, scenic, coastal road which takes you through villages and small towns, while the new free way TF5 is for travelers who are in a hurry.

Another insider tip for getting around:

However, I would ratherrecommend a paid tour which includes the whales,as you will be very tiredafter having been out onthe ocean.

Kindly, always, contact the day before for more information for those exciting tours.

Tenerife parking which is not that bad at all in Puerto de la Cruz, may still leave food for thought to use public buses to get around more often.

By the way, getting around on the island is always better arranged for while booking travels from overseas when guided bus tours or, whole city tours are preferred on the island.

Also discover special day trips and tours on offer at some Tenerife hotels.

However, for those with their own private holiday home in Tenerife, public buses, rented cars or joining sports or activity clubs are good options.

Thats what you will learn, while getting around on the island and speaking to tourists that have come to Tenerife for many years on a regular basis.
