Travel
Tenerife has two airports, one in the north (code TFN, official name "Aeropuerto Tenerife Norte – Los Rodeos") and the other in the south (code TFS, official name "Aeropuerto Tenerife Sur – Reina Sofia"). The northern airport is the closest to La Laguna and Santa Cruz, with a transit of 10-15 minutes by taxi (~20€). From Tenerife South Airport, you have two main transportation options:-
Public Transport: Bus line 10 directly connects to the main bus station in Santa Cruz ("Intercambiador"), with a travel time of approximately 55 minutes (~10€). From there, you can continue to your accommodation via tram or taxi.
-
Taxi Service: Taxis provide a more direct route to Santa Cruz or La Laguna, with an estimated travel time of 40 minutes (90-100€).
Meeting venue
The venue will take place at the IACTEC building, the headquarters of the technological and business collaboration space set up by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC).
The lecture hall is located at a distance of about 3 km from the city centre of San Cristóbal de La Laguna (usually just called 'La Laguna') and is about a 1 km from the headquarters of the IAC. The venue is 5 km away from the island's capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
How to reach the venue
The address of the venue is:
Edificio IACTECParque Tecnológico y Científico de Las Mantecas
CP: 38320 La Laguna
Santa Cruz de Tenerife Parking space is limited around the venue, so we recommend using public transport.
By public transport
The tram is most convenient for transport. It connects La Laguna and Santa Cruz and runs every 5 - 10 minutes in the mornings. Reaching the venue takes 15 minutes from La Laguna, and approximately 35 minutes from Santa Cruz downtown.
- Tram: line 1. Stop: "Las Mantecas"
Additionally, Titsa buses connect all the other cities and villages of Tenerife. The closest bus stops are for the 014 bus (connecting Santa Cruz and La Laguna).
We recommend that you buy your tickets through the app ten+movil . Once installed and registered, you can add money to a virtual wallet by credit card or by purchasing credit at ticket machines. It offers a 20% discount on tram and bus tickets. You also buy the tickets in the vending machines available in all the stops, validating them as you get on the tram.
Walking
The venue can also be reached on foot from the center of La Laguna city, but it would take around 40 minutes. Walking from Santa Cruz to the venue can take a very long time and is not recommended.
