Travel

Tenerife has two different airports: Tenerife North and Tenerife South.

Tenerife North airport (TFN) is located at La Laguna. A taxi ride from the airport to the city centre is ~10 €, and takes less than 10 minutes. Bus line 20 departs from TFN and has two stops only: La Laguna and Santa Cruz, both being the main bus stations (or Intercambiador) of the cities. It has a 30 minute frequency, and costs 2.65 € for a 5-10/10-20 minutes ride to La Laguna/Santa Cruz (but traffic jams can get quite serious). At La Laguna, it drops its passengers a bit far from the hotels mentioned below (it is just 10-15 minutes away, but you will be carrying your luggage). A taxi ride from the airport to Santa Cruz is ~18 €.

Tenerife South (TFS) is a bigger airport and has more connections, specially from outside Spain. TFS is ~80 km away from La Laguna, and a taxi ride costs around 100€. Bus lines 10 and 711 cover the TFS-Santa Cruz route: the first operates from 6:00 to 22:00, with a frequency of 30 min. Takes 50 minutes and costs 7.35 €. The second is the night service: from 22:00 to 6:00. The frequency is lower and not so constant. Takes over 1 hour and costs 9.35 €. Then you would need to take line 15 to La Laguna (takes 15-20 min and costs 1.45 €).

Buses can be paid with cash, credit card, pre-paid tickets and the official Ten+ app ( iOS and Android ): the last two are cheaper, with the app having an extra discount compared to the rest.
