Getting around from Puerto de la Cruz main bus station to Tenerife attractions like Las Americas by public Titsa and other means.

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 Titsa Transport with time tables and detailed options for other departure points. Everything a tourist wants to know about touring the biggest of all Canary Islands by bus on the cheap is included in the insider tips.

Generally, buses in Tenerife from 'el Puerto Cruz' are an excellent option to take tourists around on the island.

It's light green outside color is not very inviting to get around on the island by public bus.

Not that they had to copy the style of the lovely building 'AutoStudio' opposite the station but a few focal points with different colors might work wonders with the old station
for Puerto's buses...

When getting around within the station to the end of it where one
is facing some greenery outside one feels a strange, strong rumbling underneath the station floor when a bus passes by.

From what the media once reported this station has hollow areas underneath. Perhaps, something drastic needs doing to it for that reason alone as safety could be at stake in the future.

Buses to the main city Santa Cruz of Tenerife are #101, 102 and (bus #103 express bus which stops in very few places.)

For example, the express bus 103 will drop you off by the freeway which is rather disturbing when having a dentist appointment in Santa Ursula because, finding your way into town from the freeway is for insiders only.

Bus # 309
goes half hourly to 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 are the old, scenic, coastal road which takes us through villages and small towns and the new free way TF5 for travelers in a hurry.

Getting around in Tenerife may be real cheap when not getting off the bus as well.

Should the driver object, then, the rule is generally to climb onto a different bus which has another number but, will take you to the same destination you want.

This is called 'circum valisación' which gets you a cheaper ride, for the price of one fare within two hours as explained in tips for public transport provided you have bought the 'bono-bus' card (tajeta bono bus).

That card makes a big price difference for longer routes that leave the circle of a town such as when going from Puerto de la Cruz to Playa de las Americas or to the south airport.

You, basically, travel at half price which makes getting around and to places in Tenerife very economic.

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 by experienced people to different parts of the island.

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.

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.

When forgotten, special day trips and tours are available on offer at the better 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.
