A question that many people often ask themselves is which is the best area to enjoy in Tenerife, if the north or the south. Even if it is just an island, it is important that you know that there is a clear contrast between both areas.

The north is calmer, the weather is perhaps milder, windier and with the possibility of having a cloudy day, but it also has more history and more things to do. In addition, it is closer to one of the main tourist attractions: Mount Teide.

On the other hand, the southern area is more designed for beach and hotel vacations. The beaches are white sand and the weather is more favorable, so most of the accommodation and tourist options are there. But that also makes it the place with the most tourists, especially Europeans.

It could not be missed, the Teide, the famous volcano of Tenerife, had to be included in our list of plans. It is a Natural Monument World Heritage Site since 2007. Every year it receives thousands of visits from tourists from anywhere in the world.

The height of Teide is truly impressive, with its 3718 meters on a small island. Although it may not seem like it, the volcano is still active, albeit slightly. And as a consequence, Tenerife has an always rich and varied natural landscape.

In fact, the surroundings of Teide are a natural park : forests, rivers of solidified lava … We advise you to visit this park as well as to ascend to the top of Teide. You can do it by cable car, don’t miss it!

2. Beaches of Tenerife

Visiting Tenerife and not taking advantage of its beaches would be a complete waste. All the charms for sea lovers are in Tenerife. In the northern area, we advise you to visit the Teresitas beach and the Gaviotas beach, with dark sand, but in a different and incredible landscape.

If, on the other hand, you are going to be in the south, we advise you to enjoy the famous Costa Adeje, the place of hotels and tourism. And as beaches, the beach of Los Cristianos and that of the Americas. Enjoy them!

3. Visit to Santa Cruz de Tenerife
