Getting from Tenerife airport to the city center

Fastest options: taxi and private transfer. Best value: TITSA public buses.

Tenerife is served by two airports, with most international flights arriving at Tenerife South Airport (TFS), located 61 km southwest of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Tenerife North Airport (TFN) sits just 11 km northwest of the capital and handles primarily inter-island and domestic flights. Both airports offer airport transfers to city center destinations via public buses, taxis, and private transfers. The island's main bus operator, TITSA, connects both airports to Santa Cruz, Puerto de la Cruz, and the southern resort areas. Journey times vary depending on your destination and traffic conditions, particularly during peak tourist seasons.
