Travel secrets

Blissful breezes keep the island comfortably cool.

The Canaries are renowned for their year-round pleasant climate and thermometers rarely reach unbearable limits. In fact, the weather is so stable that the seasons of Tenerife present the smallest range of average temperatures in the world.

Ultimately, there isn’t really a bad time to visit. The best bargains are likely to be found October through December, and you should still be able to enjoy some sun at this time of year. For car hire, prices are best during off-peak seasons, but Tenerife is one of the best value places in Europe to hire a car year-round.

Car hire tips

  • Tenerife is a really popular place to hire a car, so book in advance to get a good deal.
  • Renting your car for a few more days might end up saving you money, as many suppliers offer better rates by the week.
  • Check the fuel policy and the type of fuel your car uses carefully.
  • Parking in Tenerife is good value. Multi storeys are reasonably priced, and some beachside parking is free.

Things to see

The magic of Mount Teide

Driving towards the centre of the island, you'll find Mount Teide – the third-largest volcano in the world.

The road to Teide is steep and thrilling drive. Ascending the mountain by cable car is a really worthwhile option: there is free parking at the base, and an epic panorama of the Canary Islands waiting at the 3,500-foot-high drop off point.

The surrounding area is deserted and barren – almost lunar in places – which makes for some fantastic photographs.
