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.

How find the bus station at Puerto de la Cruz?

Turn left into Calle Puerto Viejo from Plaza del Charco. Take the 2nd street to your left again. This calle called Peñon leads right up the the central bus station...

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.

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.

Bus # 309
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.

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:

What I find mind bugging is that it's not always clear, where a bus is going.
You stand at the bus stop North Airport. A bus that has written Puerto de la Cruz in front could in reality go to Santa Cruz first.
No idea, why this happens... Always ask the driver:"Puerto de la Cruz?". When he answers: "No !" then you better wait for the next bus.

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

Please, check time table Titsa at tips to get around the island for saving money, in case, you also have to be somewhere at a specific time.

AT the bus stop you may also join trips to get around the island with a hiking club to daily exciting destinations at varying times in the morning. The guided tours are done to different parts of the island by experienced people.

Please, go from getting around from Puerto to walking in Tenerife and you will note that walking trips on your own to insider locations may mean asking for trouble.

Besides, joining a German group may be fun as many Germans speak English.

Excursions depend on weather changes.
Departing times may also be altered according to changed conditions.

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.
