Top 47 things to do and attractions in Puerto de la Cruz

Amazing Day at Loro Parque! Loro Parque is absolutely incredible – a must-visit! There’s so much to see and do, and the animals are clearly very well cared for. The enclosures are spacious, beautifully designed, and give you great views without ever feeling overcrowded for the animals. Everything felt clean, organised, and really well maintained. The dolphin and orca shows were a real highlight – absolutely amazing and definitely a must-see while you’re there. They were professional, fun, and showed off the animals’ intelligence and beauty in such a memorable way. There’s plenty to keep you entertained all day, from the variety of animals to the shows and the little details around the park that make it special. The only downside is that food on site is a bit pricey – but that’s the same in most attractions and didn’t take away from how fantastic the experience was. Overall, a beautiful park, well worth the visit, and somewhere I’d happily return to again!

Got tickets online earlier as they're discounted, easy to park in their nice underground car park (7 euro). Well worth a visit, clean, accessible, plenty of clean toilets and food outlets which were reasonably priced. It's very clear that your entrance fee and any profits go towards animal welfare and conservation, which is great to know. Get to the Orca, sea lion and dolphin shows early for the beat seats, avoid the front if you want to stay dry, but that's part of the fun. Sea lions were our favourite 🦭. The fish tank displays are brilliant and absolutely massive! 🐟 🐠 The gardens and fauna are amazing! 🌟 ⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟 🦭🐬👏👏👏👏

My husband and I loves animals and we arrived 2:30 before closing and we made the best out of it. We saw almost everything but had to be fast. Well maintained and a lot a variety. The aquarium tube is fantastic. A must attractions on the island, no wonder they is pub all over the place.

Loro Parque is very unique. To call it a zoo would not do it justice. You can tell as you walk through the park that the staff really care about the place. They are constantly cleaning and maintaining the grounds, and the interactions with the animals at the shows are really impressive. You can tell there is a lot of trust between the handlers and their animal coworkers. Beyond that, the rare and endangered animals they have are too many to list. My wife and I had a great time and even made friends with a beautiful Pasquels Parrot. Highly recommend visiting! I recommend at least 5 hours to see everything, and bring good walking shoes as there are slopes and slippery sections.

Loro Parque is an exceptional experience, and exceeded our expectations. We attended all the shows and each show showed us the true beauties of these animals. We also got the beautiful feeling that each and every staff really love and care for these animals and it adds to the beauty of the experience. The whole park is exceptionally well kept and when you read around the park and listen to all the information when attending the shows, you realise how much the park really does and it makes you really appreciate the experience even more. We actually spent 6+ hours here and we still felt we could of stayed longer. We visited the Orca show twice as we needed to get splashed 😆 🤣. My favourite show was the Sea Lions but that's not to say that the Dolphins, Parrots & Orca's weren't worth the watch even if you want to watch them twice lol.

This place is definitely worth a visit! It’s interesting for everyone — from small kids to adults. The penguins are a must-see! Go up to the top of the Amazon section to take photos with the colourful parrots — it’s very impressive. There are plenty of shaded areas and spots to take a break, as well as a nice playground for kids. One of the most beautiful zoos I’ve ever seen!

Park that worth visiting. Many attractions for all ages. Orca, dolphin and sea lions show are great. Get ready to get wet when watching Orcas! Beautiful, well kept grounds with areas to relax. Food available on premises but very limited options. Animals kept in Loro Park look very happy and well cared for. Workers and trainers are happy to answer questions, there is no swimming with dolphins or orcas

Decided to try here for snorkeling, we found where the sand was with no rocks but as soon as we got into the water there were rocks everywhere causing a few bashed ankles. However once passed the waves which were enormous the water was calm enough to snorkel but the water was so cloudy and dark you couldn't see anything! Beach was nice enough really hot black sand. Needs more showers and maybe a little privacy area for parents who think it's okay to let their children shower naked whilst others are waiting to shower!

Easy black sand beach , a Clean beach with great scenic views. Red flag days the beach is marked with Plastic Red tape. Deterring from the beauty of the beach. Maybe a nautical rope would be more aesthetically pleasing. Beautiful walk that leads to 3 other beaches and a quaint cafe that closes up around 3pm. A lovely sunset walk and lounging till sunset:)

Amazing beach! The garden is just stunning with loads of plants, trees and flowers The water doesn’t have as many stones as the other beaches in Puerto De la Cruz There also a very nice restaurant and available sun beds

Very nice and calming! With black sand and slow tides and cold water (Atlantic as usual)

Nice beach with black sand and restaurant where you can have coffee and cold drinks and also pizza. 1 Sunbed 3e.

One of the best beaches in Puerto de la Cruz. Easier to get to the ocean as there aren't too many rocks. The downsides would be no showers + often closed for swimming due to the weather conditions / dangerous waves. Still recommend over e.g. Martianez.

It's nice. There are also sun loungers and parasols and a restaurant. The garden is beautiful

This was a lovely cool oasis on a hot day. A great selection of trees and plants, the online map and plant ID guide was great for the ID of key specimens. Plenty of people there, but did not feel busy. Lots of benches to enjoy the shade and bird life. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing and fascinating place, well worth the €3 euros each. Spent about 2 hours pottering about. If you love plants and wildlife I'd recommend it so highly one of the best things we did all week. The man on the desk was super helpful too, despite us being sleep deprived and speaking zero Spanish, he was able to help us find a taxi rank and number. I'm sure we looked like fools haha!

The Botanical Garden serves as a tranquil sanctuary, offering visitors a considerable respite from the coastal heat and humidity. For an entrance fee of just 3 euros, guests can explore the winding pathways and admire a lush and diverse collection of flora, some of which are truly exceptional. There are a lot of strategically placed benches throughout the park for relaxation. Visitors planning their journey should be aware that the inland distance from the coast results in significantly higher temperatures, making walking to the location strenuous (at least for us it was 😅)

A bit small but very beautiful. Great selection of tropical plants. Whatever grows in my home is twenty times bigger in this place. We spend over two hours hiding from the heat. Very recommended.

3 euros per person to enter!! Well worth a visit and every penny paid! Loved the tropical feel , beautifully maintained! Toilets immaculate,free to enter!

Went here with family friends and I must say this is one of the most exotic parks I've been too. So many plants from different parts of the world organised in such a beautiful way. This definitely takes some studying to be able to manage this ecosystem. The place is more like a 30 min- 1 hour stroll. Its big but not thay big so keep that in mind. Even though the place is hot on the outside of the park, the inside is cool due to the shade of the trees. Free toilets upon paying a 2 Euro fee for locals, free for university students and kids under 8. I uploaded many pics so that they speak for the park.

A truly fabulous place. Lots of interesting plants, Koi Carp in the pond and a bargain at €3 per person. Slight criticism, the cashier at the desk very a very miserable man!

It's not one of the most beautiful beaches in Tenerife. In general, only large stones. There is also a section with black sand, but here you can also find stones. It seems to be sought after by surfing enthusiasts. There is a small cafe at the edge of the beach.

Spectacular views of the waves hitting the cliffs and an amazing panorama of the city . Sunny and hot even in febuary ! Finished with an amazing walk up the colourful stairs and beautiful flowers

Unfortunately, this is not a proper beach. There's hardly any sand, and it is full of rocks and stones, which make the sea inaccessible to swimmers. It's nice and relaxing watching the surfers, paragliding and some evenings there is live music. This creates a lovely vibe about the place, hence 3 stars.

Nice beach with nice waves. Good for surfing I think! Both stone and black sand.

This beach is not for swimming, but still really beautiful to visit. To watch surfers or to surf, there’s a little shop for people who want to surf. There’s a little cafe nearby. The view is great! And it’s so calming just to sit there and enjoy the waves.

Sad thing but they didnt solved the problem with pollution yet. Every beach on north have red flag and nasty foam. We were trying to find beach for swiming for 3 days but only one when it was possible, was the one with Sahara sand, but even there was toilet paper in the water. Canarias islands should do something about that really

An ok free public beach, easily accessible. It has a sandy area to lay down. Mosty, everything else is rocky. Great for surfing. There are lifeguards watching out.

Okay for quick look if you're passing but it's just an art exhibition (and not many exhibits) with no information about the tower itself. It could be better as it's an excellent building in itself.

You can’t visit inside but it is beautiful place to visit next to beach.

Though we only viewed Fort San Felipe from the outside, it's an impressive landmark you'll likely encounter on your promenade stroll. Its old cannons make for a great photo opportunity."

Castle is a too pretentious name for this small fortification. 4 stone walls that close a space. Rectangular, without interesting architecture. In addition, it can only be visited during cultural events.

A little castle by the beach, but unfortunately it was closed when we visited. The courtyard had cannons out the front. Their were building works in the vicinity and lovely views over the beach and ocean

Castillo de San Felipe in Puerto de la Cruz The Castillo de San Felipe is one of those places where you can still feel the historic battles fought in defense of the islands and which carries the echo of a more violent and uncertain time. The Castillo de San Felipe is located about one kilometer from the city center of Puerto de la Cruz and right next to the leisure facilities of Playa Jardín. The Castillo de San Felipe had a defensive mission to ward off pirate attacks and was also used as a base station. Although this was the purpose for which it was built, over time it has found many uses, for example it was for a time a hospital, a warehouse, a shooting club and even a restaurant. In recent years it has even been used for concerts and exhibitions. It can be said that the Castillo de San Felipe has been kept in good condition thanks to the remodeling and innovations that are carried out on a regular basis. It currently serves as a cultural space. The Castillo de San Felipe was declared a Cultural Asset and Artistic Historical Monument in 1949 and is part of the Historical Heritage of Spain.

Every day we passed by this castle and looked in out of curiosity, it was closed. It looks majestic from the outside

A wonderfully colourful street where former fishermen's cottages have been put to new uses with arts and crafts as well as restaurants now occupying some of the buildings. A sense of cultural atmosphere remains when these types of lovely buildings are refurbished instead of being replaced by bland modern buildings.

A vibrant place rich in local traditions, far removed from tourist crowds.

cute place with lovely bars and restaurants to visit with your nose up looking for wall art

Super cute and colorful barrio ! I recommend !

Beautifull part of old town Puerto de la Cruz. Colorfull houses, interesting wallpaintings, nice vibe.

Nice food for a good price

Great little find. Beautiful little square, with quaint restaurants. Always some local buskers entertaining.

A small square with a viewpoint that offers very beautiful views of the city and the ocean. From here you can continue your walk on a promenade along the edge of a rocky wall, from where you will again have beautiful views. There are also some restaurants along the route. A wonderful place to watch the sunset, but not only that.

Nice place If you like take a beautiful pictures 🙂

Nice viewpoint. If you're lucky you will see Parasailors landing

Mirador La Paz is a serene viewpoint offering stunning panoramic vistas, perfect for moments of reflection or capturing nature's beauty. Its breathtaking scenery, from sunrise to sunset, provides a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle. A visit here is not just about the view; it's an experience that stays with you, making it a must-see for anyone seeking peace and natural splendor.

Pretty nice viewpoint with a great view of the ocean, breakwater, and surrounding city. A few mini monuments dedicated to the tourist and Agatha Christie. There is also a church built in 1591, across the Mirador.

Loved this vibrant and lively town. Best to park at the large park by the beach and walk along the shore toward the town and thd marina. Many people enjoying the walk, icecream and dinner. Very good feeling walking around. Beautiful town, beach and we also had a good view toward the mountains. Beautiful, lively town worth seeing.

Rating this 4 stars because I come up here to see the sunset. The sunset was a little bit disappointing, better off to watch it at playa jardin! But the view is astonishing!

Situated almost in the center of town, this small beach bay features a jetty and natural pool with an entrance just below the boardwalk. It has typical black sand, stony entrance/pier by descending into water by ladder, making it interesting for a quick rest, intense swimming, or snorkeling. While it may not be the top pick for the best beach of the year, it certainly has its unique charm.

A very nice public bath, specially with waves crashing

I had a such a brilliant time jumping in the sea from the harbour and swimming around while the waves crashed in. As a tourist I’m always envious of places like this that locals can use every day if they want. Bring a towel and a swimsuit, it’s worth it!

There are lots of crabs but don't be scared of them. Water is very clear and blue and there are a lot of fishes so many people are fishing there.

very picturesque beach, but not convenient for swimming as it is very rocky and wavy

Mostly rocky city beach but with a patch of beach also.

Very picturesque, but not very convenient for swimming everywhere. Not too much shadow, pebble beach

Most important catholic church in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife. Well located. Main religious events take place in Holly Week, July and December.

Nice church, unfortunately was closed but took time out in the garden. Open today, beautiful inside. Remember €3 donation is the price of an ice cream to upkeep these ancient churches.

A well deserved and decorated with gold church in the middle of town. Handy for Sunday Mass

This temple houses some of the most revered images in Tenerife such as the Virgen del Carmen in Puerto de la Cruz and the Great Power of God. This temple has three naves separated by Tuscan-Roman columns and semicircular arches. The interior is made of wood with Mudéjar coffered ceilings so typical of Canarian religious architecture. Outside, the roof is covered with pointed Arabic tiles. Inside the temple we find a series of small rectangular chapels, which have nothing to do with the rest of the nave, since they were added later to the first factory. During the reform carried out at the end of the 19th century by the architect Manuel de Camara, the Canary balconies located in the upper part of the facade (from the side of the message and the gospel) were abolished, as well as the bell tower located at the beginning of these ships. In its place was a semi-circular vertical window with a gutter at the top and a sloping sill. The cornice was cut off, covering it with a parapet. A tower rises above the portal of the church, adjoining the beginning of the first nave. It consists of three successive bodies of decreasing width that conflict with the rest of the structure. Night view outside. Inside are numerous works of art, including four canvases adorning the altarpiece of the Gospel Chapel by Luis de la Cruz y Ríos, and five more paintings adorning the pulpit attributed to his father Manuel de la Cruz. In sculpture, the "Lord of the Great Power", an 18th-century work, deserves attention; Virgen del Rosario, from the 17th century; Saint John the Evangelist of the 17th century, as well as Saint Dominic, the famous Virgen del Carmen of Puerto de la Cruz and Saint Peter in his remorse for anonymous authorship. In jewelry, it is worth highlighting the excellent tabernacle made of gilded silver, made in Cuba in the 18th century by the famous silversmith Escobar. Baroque embossed silver litter given as a gift for Corpus Christi, also in the 18th century. Large cross overlaid with chased silver. Finally, other silver embossed parish litters acquired in the 18th century.

Nice ornate church in centre of puerto de la cruz.

Amazing place to visit situated in beautiful green area

Lovely large spacious church that is well worth stepping inside and taking a walk around. Well kept and very striking. Outside there is a lovely park attached to it with seating and a fountain. Perfect place to rest and contemplate.

A not very big but beautiful park. Located on a hillside, which makes it offer a very beautiful view of the city. Rich vegetation, paths going up in steps, a few small ponds, unfortunately not very well maintained. At its highest point there is also a small cafe.

Beautiful park with great views on the ocean, coast and city. You should know that there are many stairs to go up. There's a cafeteria to sit down and enjoy. Behind the hotel there's another beautiful park to visit.

A park with stunning bird's-eye views of Puerto de la Cruz, perfect for a leisurely stroll. Relax, admire the scenery, and soak up the local culture with Noble's captivating tiled murals. As usual here, there's some stair-climbing involved.

Beautiful view on the city, restaurant on the top, really 👌. Recommend!!

This park looks abandoned to be honest. I am surprised by the many positive reviews here. There is only one, small water-connected area - all the others look like they haven't seen water since Franco. Some walls are covered in graffiti, the pavement in many places is not bricked or is just covered with many kinds of leaves and dirt. The only positive aspect is the view from the top. However the condition of this place is making it not a good attraction. Waste of knees on hundreds of stairs...

A beautiful small park on a hill. Amazing view to the sea. There is restaurant and bar when you reach the top. Not busy all. I recommend if you are around Puerto de la Cruz, the scenery and atmosphere is incredible.

It was a long steep walk up here but well worth it for the wonderful views whilst we sat in the glorious sunshine and ate our picnic watching the world go by down below in the city. You could see the coast, the port walls and waterpark too and up to the mountains. The paths are well paved and their are steps to get to the different levels, some quite steep. Their was not many flowers about, but we saw some white bird of paradise ones. It was more shrubs and trees but still very pretty and green. There were numerous viewing areas with seating and bins. Their was a cafe with toilets for customers only. It was all very neat and tidy and the gardener was busy at work. Only one of the water features was working, the rest looked like work in progress to clean them out. I would imagine that it would look very different and more colourful in the summer months. I am sure their would be a bus route to bring you nearer and their was roadside parking if walking up us difficult for you.

Lovely black beach, with rolling waves. Unfortunately the sea is officially closed due to sewage pollution from a broken pipe at sea. Many people ignore the rules and still swim and play in the sea.

Beautiful 😻 nice beach 🏝️ With gray-black sand. I would like to see more flowers 🌺 But it’s ok for now because it’s already autumn

Puerto de la Cruz. Beautiful Playa Jardin, Walking around under Palmas , sun bathing..such a beauty. Having a drink at the cafe. (swimming t is not allowed due for very underwater work, to make the water clean from bacteria who may cause harm to human being.) Still beautiful .. to stay and enjoy, in his Beauty..of plants and flowers. A cafe open and really relaxing.

Nice, wide beach, much better then playa de Martinez. But there are stones in the begining, in the sea, good to have special shoes.

Beautiful beach, again a tragic shame about the water... a pipe had burst a while ago and caused the water to be closed to the public whilst the beach is still available to the public. People still swim in this despite the warnings, it's worrying. The views still have not been affected as their beauty remains and watching the sun set on the water is beautiful on the dark sand.

Simply beautiful. Pictures dont do ths black sand justice. Its amazing in real life. Unique and marvellous

Day on the black sand beach here, good beach beds and umbrella good value at €9 for 2 beds & umbrella and not crowded together. Decent beach bar for meals/snack/drinks.

It looks really nice, not too expensive and not too crawed. But, water is freezing cold. There are like thousands of people outside of the pool and 20 mazohists (or Eskimos?) in the pool. Shallow standing water, I expected it to be warmer than the ocean, but it's not. If you don't mind cold water then it's perfect for you.

This an honest review, in my opinion. The place looks well maintained. The price is €7 euros per adult and €3 for umbrella rental. There is a bar for drinks and a small on-site restaurant resterante Lago. I noticed a free lending library just at the entrance, too. Unfortunately when we went the changing facilities were closed as far as I could tell. So maybe wise to come prepared. Its fresh salt water pools fed from the sea.

Arrived and they had decided to close the pools without notice at 1.30pm. Apparently because it was a little windy!! The people already there weren’t not told to leave for their safety. Nothing was blowing around in there or anything! Sun beds still in place, nothing!! Absolute idiots ruining peoples holiday plans!!! If it’s for safety they evacuate the entire complex!! They’re just lazy!

Wonderful place to spend the day, you need to pay for entrance but it doesn’t cost much. Very clean and well prepared with changing rooms and cold showers. It would be better with warm water in the shower.

Little bit disappointed that the big pool has been closed since May. But other pools were open. Was still a great deal. When you get in, drinks and food are good and reasonably priced.

€7 entry each and €3 per umbrella. Really nice place to visit with multiple different pools to swim in. Lots of loungers so didn't struggle to find somewhere to sit. Outside space and bathrooms well maintained and kept very clean. Small shop you can buy snacks/drinks at, but limited on options available. Restaurant was ok, but not too expensive- lots of choice for food (we had sandwiches which were nice). Only downside really is it says you can't take your own food in (though a few people in front of us in the queue had cool boxes and didn't get stopped so don't know how strict they are on this!). Would visit again.

Nice place to spend time, we were there from 11 AM to 6 PM. Right by the sea, so you can watch the waves hit the rocks. But there were a few problems. -🎟 There isn't online ticketing, which means you're waiting in line in the sun to get in. -🌂 Our sun umbrella had disappeared when we returned from swimming. We explained this to the person handing out the umbrellas, but he said we had to rent another one instead just handing a second one out. Not customer friendly. -⌛️ At one of the restaurants, we had to wait a long time to pay because the waiter just disappeared. We ended up paying at the counter, as we had waited at least half an hour. They were either understaffed, or the waiter wasn't attentive. Furthermore, they could put signs up to explain why some of the sections are cordoned off. Instead, the life guards blow their whistle and tell people to move away from the sea walls every 20 mins or so. A nice place, and a little bit more effort in terms of infrastructure would make it in to a great Nice place to spend time, but there were 3 problems. -🎟 There isn't online ticketing, which means you're waiting in line in the sun to get in. -🌂 Our sun umbrella had disappeared when we returned from swimming.

We have enjoyed this restaurant very much. The service is quick and friendly, our food was very well prepared and we liked the ambiente very much. There is a courtyard in the centre of the building where the roof can be removed. The white housewine is OK-ish. But this might be a matter of personal taste. Definitely a place to come back again. Unfortunately I could not have a cigarette after lunch because there is no open place to sit and smoke.

A really nice place. Proper tablecloths and napkins. My choice of food excellent. Very typical Canarian building. Looks a little severe from the outside but a warm welcome inside. Good English spoken. Highly recommend.

Wonderful restaurant on the heart of Puerto de la Cruz. An old building with different rooms and full of atmosphere. A great menu which caters for everyone and a good wine list. Food flavoursome well presented and delivered hot. Staff efficient & pleasant

I don’t know where to start , unfortunately we aren’t satisfied. I don’t like to leave bad review but honesty is the most important for me. We went to this place last night for my brother birthday. The place is outstanding, gorgeous building and beautiful atmosphere!! Unfortunately the quality of food and level of service was very poor .. while we stood there around four times we get so close to leave .. We get the our table then and waited around 30 minutes for a drink order… We had soup as starter which is I would say wasn’t bad .. but nothing like makes you go back for it .. We where waiting nearly an hour for the main we had paella . It’s okay I do understand this as they promoted our paella freshly made with lobster .. etc .. What we get is a blend tasteless boiled rice.. honestly it was so empty., The lobster we had .. I was shocked when I see the offal was left in it .. it wasn’t cleaned properly also it was super tasteless as well . I was expecting at least some garlic on it or some added spice or anything.. They probably killed it , baked it then served .. the whole time I was chasing the waiter many times as we run out of drinks .. etc The rest of fish in paella it was tasteless again literally 0 season has been added to it . So in that case I do 2 star because the atmosphere was magnificent. My brother had pork paella the meat was okay on it but the rice was taste a bit fishy so they may used the same pan after our lobster paella.. I believe this place deserves a new talented chef who able to raise up the food quality to 2023 . This dish this this way could be super amazing in 1990 but this days people expect more flavour I believe. Overall wasn’t worth over €200 . The wine was nice and the desert was delicious by the way .

Excellent restaurant with a very authentic and traditional Ambiente! We were glad to try it and were absolutely satisfied with the menu and the food we ordered! The service was especially good! The personal was very up there game and read our minds! This is what is supposed to happen in a great restaurant! I recommend a visit and can recommend to sit in the patio.

I've been visiting this place for over 25 years and despite strong competition, Regulo always delivers! Charming vibe, amazing staff and delicious food! Definitely worth a visit if you're in puerto!

Food was amazing. The mains could feed two people, very large portions. Staff are friendly, good drinks menu and various foods available. The mixed seafood grill is an amazing value for money.

This orchid garden looks small but its not! It is filled with beautiful plamts and romantical hedges and arches. You can also find some history and art on the walls about this garden. You can feed koi fish, you can see birds and you can do a workshop painting. The orcids might be in pots, but they are lovely still. It is completely worth the price, only 5 euros for the complete access of this garden. If you walk by, just go in! Its so worth it, really cute cultural experience

I went expecting to get a real sense of the botanical vibrancy of the Canary Islands and instead found a monument to the colonial influence of the British elite with only a handful of native plants. There was no reference to this historical context, aside from a sign outside (not in affiliation with the garden). My other observation was that there was a very limited variety of orchids, I could only spot one or two species and they were the same ones you see in the supermarket. The garden has a real potential to educate tourists on the colonial significance of the space along side its beauty (as it really was stunning) and I would love to encourage that with this review!

Nice place to visit not too far from the main hotels and resorts area. Impressive collection of orchids and local trees and plants, you can feed the fishes or pet the owners cats that meet you at the entrance. 4.25€ entrance per adult.

A small botanical garden, with all kinds of plants. Orchids are not nearly as numerous as the name suggests. There is also a small pond with koy carp, it's quiet, a relaxed atmosphere. Neat, you can see that someone is constantly taking care of the maintenance. I visited it the first hour after opening, 10:00, and it was not crowded at all.

Lovely English style park, very homely, traces of old age and rare things preserved. The people who work there are very hospitable, the avenue of achids is very impressive. I felt like I was in the park of an English lord and his wife, who makes the park cosy. I recommend it to those who like peace and nature.

Absolutely beautiful, well kept place with a lovely little cafe at the bottom of the garden. The orchids are very impressive.

Very sweet little garden with orchids and winding paths past ponds. Well shaded and suitable for spending an hour at the most

This is an amazing wine and tapas experience. The food is very good, and the deserts are excellent. We had the wine flight with two white and two reds, then some cava, and coffee. Definitely worth a visit. The wine list is extensive, so ask for recommendations - each recommendation was excellent.

Very interesting and high quality food! Friendly stuff and romantic ambience! Definitely worth it! We have eat Mixed tapas from the chef.

A lovely restaurant with an excellent wine menu. A small but interesting food menu with beautifully prepared tapas and salads. The croquettes were 10/10 and the tropical salad with curried prawns was our favourite salad of the 2 week holiday. Update- We visited again this week and had amazing food and wine. The restaurant gets extremely busy, so book in advance if possible.

Great service from Marteen, super relaxing atmosphere, amazing wines and very tasty food. A great place to finish off the day

A stunning little gem. With really attentive and knowledgeable staff we discovered more about the island through wine than any other way.

A real gem in Puerto de la Cruz We had dinner at Vinoteca Con Pasión and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, with warm lighting and great attention to detail. We ordered the Tabla del Chef with a young Canarian red wine… a perfect pairing. Every tapa was creative, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. You can truly feel the passion in the kitchen. The staff were exceptional: friendly, professional, and genuinely caring, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. If I had to mention two small notes, the rice in the Tabla del Chef was a bit dry, and the Salpicón Oriental included some surimi, which felt a bit out of place among such fresh and authentic flavours. Still, everything else was outstanding, great food, great people, and a place that truly lives up to its name. Highly recommended!!

We actually found this place based on a Google maps search. I have to say we were so impressed with the venue the service and the quality of the food that we booked again for the final night of our holiday. We had the Chef's recommended Tapas selection, again and would have no qualms about having it again or indeed recommending it to someone else. Excellent value for money.

Service is very good, staff are very helpful, polite and very friendly. I will definitely recommend the smoothies. The veggie burger was good. Nachos were a bit disappointing as it could have been better with proper dips. But overall good restaurant for vegetarians and worth a try once to see if this relates to your taste buds.

Very friendly service. Food arrived hot and was tasty. Nicely decorated inside. Outside pavement seating available too.

Vegan Heaven If you're looking for a cheap, healthy, atmospheric and delicious place to eat, look no further. My wife and I are (bloody) vegans and have tried a few places in the area recently. There was always something not quite right with the others, ranging from indigestion-inducing dishes to excessively salty or greasy food. As someone who suffers from IBS, it's difficult for me to find a suitable place to eat out abroad. One evening we had a banquet with drinks, and the bill — including a decent tip — came to only €35 (about £30) for two people! Everyone there always served us with a smile and was very accommodating to our requests. We'll most certainly come back again and again. 😊

Delicious food, great service, nice view. We ordered the humburguesas (Rosa con papas & Canaria con papas) and you can see in the picture that it was gone pretty fast. Croquet as we're also really tasty. Add some fresh squeezed juice (digestivo & mineralisatie) and you are well fed and cared for!

One year on from our first visit and still outstanding. Great food, great value, great environment. The owners and staff I hope are fiercely proud of what they have created.

Delicious and light food, huge portions. We loved it here, will visit again for sure.

We've just come back from a 5-night stay in Tenerife. This was the first restaurant we ate in on our arrival and we came back 5 more times, including twice on the same day. As vegans who like to eat healthily, this was paradise for us. Very wholesome and tasty food, which sat nicely in the stomach, and was good value too. I wish there something similar near me in the UK.

Wonderful views!! Entry is 7 euros for a day and umbrella is an additional 3 euros. The swimming pools are clean and enjoyable, the views are simply amazing and the sound + sight of ocean waves outside the pools makes it a unique experience! We spend half a day here but I think one full day would also be enjoyable!! Many options for eating and also clean dressing rooms and toilets. Only thing I didn’t like is that the staff was a bit unfriendly and started closing up the pools way before the actual closing time (6pm)

Great fun. €7 entry for full day, bar & food available. Salt water pool. Lovely & clean place with plenty of sun loungers. Quite busy but plenty of place to swim and friendly vibes. However expect umbrellas to be taken already. It is very deep in certain areas and rocky edges to get in and out so you must be careful during your time there. Not many lifeguards seen however they were blowing whistles at those jumping off rocks so were clearly present and aware.

Only got to visit 2 of the pool areas as we arrived pretty late, weather wasn’t the best but I enjoyed our few hours there. TikTok brought me there all though it is a bit overpriced and over hyped it was a great day out pool was empty so enjoyed a good swim. Bathrooms are clean, however prepare your bones for the hill of death lol the hill or the steps to heaven as I named them short cut to the top is the steps if you ask me if walking to the bus is a life changer lolol but it was all worth it 8/10

Good for a day out in the sun. €7 PP, toilets and changing facilities included. Have to pay extra for an umbrella. Swimming pools all nice and big, plenty room if it’s busy. Would recommend for a day out.

Amazing place 7 euro to get in for as long as you want. 3 euro for umbrella if it gets to hot Lots of kiosks and cafes for food and drinks at reasonable prices I would highly recommend this place.

Beautiful sea pools, huge area, plenty of space for everyone. €7 for all day plus €3 for parasol if required, great value. Very clean and organised, great day out

Spent all day here one of the most incredible places I’ve ever been. The view of El Tiede in the background too was insane. My fav pool was the massive artificial lake one so much to explore

Great dancing! So much awesome dancers on one dancefloor. I recommend to go there on saturday, as we did. You pay 5 euros and get welcome drink in the price. The only one thing is that the music is tooooo loud. That´s why I give 4 stars instead of 5.

Saturday night. Arrived at 2.30am. Very quiet for a nightclub. DJ left the club at 5am. 5 euro entrance to include a drink on arrival. Alot of reggaeton played, less salsa. More atmosphere needed.

Lots of salsa, bachata and meringue. Very quiet but that's not a problem as plenty space for dancing. 5 euro entrance ticket includes a drink.

Bad music, mostly bachata. Manager of this club must be blind. If you would change music there would be a lot of more people.

No customers on Sunday, no possibility to check what's inside, poor english on the entrance, mojito taste like squizzed socks :) 5€ obligatory is like to buy a cat in the sack.

The drinks and design are ok, but in a Saturday night (in Tenerife) they play only Spanish music. It is an worldwide brand Tenerife and can't play only local music.

A large space for middle aged couples to practice and dance salsa and other latino bailars.

Took my husband (huge mystery novel fan) to the stairs as a surprise. He loved it! Very cool place. And the walk from Playa San Telmo is beautiful.

As a fan of literature, this was a must see for me. It was easy to find and has a nice vantage point at the top. We went on a weekday and the stairs weren't too busy.

A hood tribute to Agatha Christie. Spurs you to want to read her books. Enjoyed the journey there. So many steps but worth the climb. Could drive up there if preferable.

A cool photo spot and also nice to visit🤗 the stairs look really beautiful!

Cool steps with Agatha Christie's novels written on steps. Well worth visiting if you're a fan.

The Stairs are great for some exercise when going to Puerto's Beach area and shops and there's a lot of them. It's a bit more difficult walking back up them! But they are v colourful and and the area is traffic free)))

Fun place to go. Nicely decorated steps to commemorate Agatha Christie’s work and a great view from the top for photo ops

The tourist information office recommended we came up here to see the steps with Agatha Cristie's book titles on and it was worth seeing. It was a long walk up steps to get here and more to do the passage walk. Their was plenty of benches in the shade to rest and relax under trees and plenty of colourful flowers about too. We continued further up to a view point over the city and ocean. It was very busy with a lot of people about so difficult to take good photos. The only negative was that the steps were in need of a bit TLC in the way of refurbishment and paint to bring them back into good condition.

Fun little unexpected surprise to find these stairs on our way to see the botanical gardens. Great little find with all the books of Christie written on the stairs.

Really good looking stairs ! You can take good pictures here, and enjoy a nice view right after, on the left side

A lovely tribute to Agatha Christie. Never knew that she stayed in Tenerife so long ago. The steps story links neatly with the Hotel in Taora Park which is just across town from here, 20 minute walk away.

This is just something extraordinary. You don’t have to pay for seeing them. Nearby, there’s a garden of the author, where you have to pay for the entrance, but definitely worth visiting.

Really glad I got the see the famous steps but my god it’s a hike !!!!!

Nice place, worth seeing. Is it a „must see”? I dont think so, but If You have time, it’s worth stopping by

Wonderfull trees and plants in a very nice garden

Great garden. Only 3euro and you able to see so mane different plants from around the world. Recommend!

Beautiful and well maintained garden. The entry is more than affordable and easily accessible by foot, taxi or bus depending on your exact location. Spent a couple of hours there.

Beautiful relaxing gardens, very peaceful and serene, ideal for disconnecting from the world for a while....

Cool shady place full of unusual plants. Easily reached by local bus 363 from town centre

(Translated by Google) Gardens with vegetation from all over the world. With an entrance fee of 3 euros and 2 for residents you have no excuse not to go.

Well maintained and fascinating Canarian architecture with internal wooden patio, balcony columns, stairs and columns all in wood, beautifully restored. Palm trees in the patio and opening onto the sea, towards the ancient port. 👍The first floor offers visitors the Museum of Contemporary Art, with exhibitions of cyclically exhibited artists.

Small square with beautiful views.

(Translated by Google) Paseo de San Telmo is one of the busiest places in Puerto de la Cruz. It is a pedestrian street with many palm trees on its sidewalks and numerous shops of all types (electronics, jewelry stores, souvenirs, etc.) as well as cafes. To give an aesthetic to the escarpment of the land, there are several stairs and ramps and a terrace system, and its stairs give access to the beach. The western part is the highest area where you can enjoy panoramic views of the coast and cliffs. (Original) Le paseo de San Telmo est l’un des endroits les plus fréquentés de Puerto de la Cruz.

Pour donner une esthétique à l’escarpement du terrain, il y plusieurs escaliers et des rampes et un système de terrasse, et ses escaliers donnent accès à la plage. La partie ouest est la zone la plus élevée où vous pouvez profiter d’une vue panoramique sur la côte et les falaises.

(Translated by Google) A visit to this promenade is a must if you're in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife. Its souvenir shops, ice cream parlors, restaurants, and other amenities ensure that the stunning sea views are not only a feast for the eyes, but also provide plenty of places to grab a bite if you'd like. It's beautiful, elegant, and the scent of the sea makes this walk a truly delightful experience. (Original) Es más que obligatorio visitar este paseo si visitas Puerto de la Cruz en Tenerife.

(Translated by Google) Simply a lovely little spot! (Original) einfach liebes Platzerl!

A small beach, with large but round stones, so not very unpleasant. Located in the middle of the city, simple, undeveloped, there are no sunbeds, I didn't see a lifeguard. Good for a quick bath but nothing more.

Nice little fishing harbour in the centre of town. Not really a beach to speak of more just a small pebbly shore line. Theres a couple of benches to sit and chill.

Beautiful central point for the town, lots of local events happening while we were there.

I like it for the diving school there, otherwise i think it's the worst "pier" i have seen until now... I wouldn't even call it a pier but whatever. (funfact: it did cost the same as a normal real pier with pantalons... At least that's what people working there told me) They have a gigantic parking place, that is free to use, big plus point. And some nice shopping streets. It's at least worth a visit

Parking, you can leave your car here when hiking Teide. +- 10 min walk to route 09 and +-25 back from cable car

Lively place to feel the awesome power and energy of the ocean crashing on the volcanic boulders. Lovely views and seats to contemplate.

A small beach in the marina area which gets busy during the weekend. A number of visitors were jumping in and out of the sea enjoying themselves. It's a nice quaint area to enjoy people watching and enjoy the boats. We especially enjoyed watching the webcam before we visited.

We called in today and entry was free as they are doing renovations and their is not much to see. Their was a replica mummy of an original habitant who were buried in caves. Their were information boards about their diet and life style in spanish. We were given information cards in English and it was quite interesting. They had a few pots and storage equipment that they used to store food. They had toilets you could use and some benches to rest on inside and in the little garden at the front. It would be worth coming back when the museum is fully open.

It is free but unfortunately they do renovations so I saw only the small yard

A disappointing place :-(. There were only two rooms open, out of many that could have been, there were very few artefacts and even those were reproductions. There was what seemed like an interesting few well illustrated panels of information about the history of the original inhabitants, but all in Spanish (fair enough - we are in Spain!!) but it could easily have been in a book, with no point in visiting the place. We were given three very wordy A4 sheets of info in English (well done for this) but they only vaguely related to the illustrated panels. Again they could easily have been online or in a book, with no real reason to visit. It’s a lovely period building.

Turned up today to find that the museum is closed and nothing is available to view. On talking to the proprietor at the Museum he informed me that the establishment is under renovations. The estimated time to completion is within the next 2 - 4 months....I would therefore recommend not visiting until at least end of Q1 2019

We arrived today at this house and found no signs of any museums. Please warn guests before they travel long distances to see this.

The museuem is total empty. I only saw there a few goat's heads and some stories about Guanche. I leave 2 stars only because it is for free.

Only 2 small rooms we were given access to and these just showed poster for which we had been given translation sheets. The only thing in its favour was that it was free.

A simple monument, without anything out of the ordinary. The interesting thing about it is that it is perched on the only rock in the area and, once you climb up, you have a panoramic view of the area (quite trivial, the area...). All in all, you need 15 minutes to take some pictures of it and for to climb up.

Good place to visit. Doesn't have anything special but great views. If you're walking by, take a look

Beautiful, even just passing by. The white pillars reflected the sun and it was a beautiful monument to see.

El Peñón del Freile is a quite well-maintained monument, although the views might not be particularly picturesque. The site's rugged charm and the care put into its upkeep make it a worthwhile visit for those interested in exploring local landmarks.

Pretty little view point, with disappointing scenes from the top over the city and coast in the distance. Good. Place to watch the football games. I guess when it was erected their were good coastal views. Steps up, were quite slippy in the rain, which may be difficult if you have mobility issues. Worth a look if you passing by, but not to go out of your way.

Nice little vantage point. Watched some kids playing football in the nearby field, And there is a good view of the sea. A good place to sit and rest your legs for 5 minutes.

It's close to the water's edge so it's worth a quick stop and few photos. Nice viewpoint

A viewpoint from where you can watch the waves breaking against the many rocks in the area. Salty and fresh air. The area is heavily trafficked, there are a few benches where you can rest and a lot of shops nearby.

Fantastic views!

Lovely to watch the waves crashing into the rocks! 🌊🪨

Fantastic view!!

Beautiful

Nice views.

Cool view point oft the coast.

It's a nice place for afternoon hangouts, yoga, and other activities.

feels like you are in mexico 😀

nice play ground next to the beach

(Translated by Google) A park area with a beautiful landscape design, you can say a cactus valley. There is a small playground nearby, the little ones have fun here. (Original) Паркова зона з гарним ландшафтним дизайном, можна сказати кактусова долина. Поруч невеликий дитячий майданчик, малечі тут весело.

(Translated by Google) The beach is beautiful, but it was constantly closed due to some toxic substances that were found in the sea... I only came to lie in the sun... (Original) Пляж красивый, но был постоянно закрыт из-за каких-то ядовитых веществ, которые нашли в море.. Приходила только на солнышке полежать...

(Translated by Google) Clean park beautifully decorated with exotic plants, beautifully colored bougainvillea and large cacti. Beautiful promenade leading to black sand beaches. (Original) Parc propre et magnifiquement agrémenté de plantes exotiques, de bougainvilliers aux superbes couleurs et des grands cactus. Belle promenade menant aux plages de sable noir.

(Translated by Google) A nice area near the beach and in a beautiful park. Relaxing. The walk that leads to the city center is beautiful. (Original) Una bella area vicino alla spiaggia e in un bellissimo parco. Rilassante. Bella la passeggiata che porta al centro città.

Amazing beach! Only locals here. There are quite large waves here. It is famous for that. We came here at 6pm and enjoyed jumping into the waves and sometimes getting turned around. There is a bar here. If you come by car I recommend parking about 1.5km before desceding to the beach. Once the narrow road starts you will be in trouble it you meet a car coming towards you. I swear it in the 15 minutes we walked down to the beach we passed several cars trying to manevour the narrow road. Overall, I highly recommend this beach, but beware of the waves! Come here if you enjoy waves!

Great beach with amazing views. Would not recommend expecting to swim. Pretty good walk and can be strenuous for some. Highly recommend -American

Worth the walk from Puerta de la Cruz! It took us about an hour each way, stopping to take pictures along the way. Bear in mind, there are lots of stairs/hills both ways. We were so glad we went. The black volcanic sand is so warm and soft. The huge volcanic rocks and cliffs are stunning. And the waves are huge and breathtaking.

Perfect beach with big waves, amazing to relax, bathing is forbidden though... 5€ for parking, but the road there is horror. You can tak a 4km easy walk there from Puerto. You have to handle a lot of tourists taking pictures. Bar at the beach is a plus, no bathing the downside.

Beautiful Black Sand Beach Whether you’re looking to surf the strong waves or simply dip your toes in the water and listen to the soothing sound of the ocean, this is the perfect spot. It has a peaceful, almost private beach vibe and even offers some natural shade in the afternoon ,great for those who aren’t big on sunbathing. We explored everything on foot, but if you’re driving, I’d recommend parking uphill and walking down. It’s well worth the effort

Amazing beach, nice hike to get there. The waves are very big and you cannot swim but they are spectacular. There is no shower available but that's ok, this beach is totally worth it.

Playa El Bollullo is a hidden gem in Tenerife – stunning black volcanic sand that looks straight out of a postcard. It’s incredibly remote, far from tourist crowds, giving you pure peace and a real nature escape. The waves are mind-blowing, powerful and perfect for surfing – last time I was bodyboarding (that board you lie on to catch waves), and it was an epic rush! Big downside: swimming is now completely banned – currents and waves are way too dangerous, signs everywhere warn you to stay out of the water. Getting there is tricky as hell – steep, narrow cliff path demands good shoes and caution, but the views make it worth every step. Overall, an unforgettable earth-shaking experience if you love raw adventure and untamed beauty. Go for the thrill, just admire the sea from the shore!

Need to walk around to find them.

Nice place

(Translated by Google) Nice, but I expected a bit more. (Original) Mooi, maar had er iets meer van verwacht.

(Translated by Google) Everything is very colorful. It reminded me a bit of Havana. Painted walls, colorful and varied houses. There are many cafes and restaurants, some of which are quite good :) (Original) Очень все колоритно. Чем-то напомнило Гавану. Расписные стены, цветные и самые разнообразные домики.

A small but interesting museum, specialising in abstract and surrealist artists from the 1950s-60s. Some excellent pieces in truly beautiful surroundings (the building is stunning). Cheap to enter (€2), but cash only.

Lovely little gallery with a good range of art and sculptures. Friendly staff, great value for €2. And the building is beautiful too

Exhibition of finr contemporary Canarian artists in an architecturaly relevent set of buildings. The red pine doors are impressive too. Entrance is free.

Very friendly place, interesting small collection. Great location. (And a gift shop

Loved this place, not even the 30 local school children present could ruin my day.

Medium sized gallery. I loved it but there is one problem. Lovely lady at the entrance suggested us the booklet which was in German, Spanish (and Finnish?). There was no English so that’s kind of disappointing considering the fact that a lot of English speaking people visiting the gallery as well.

Closed until further notice. Not mentioned on Google Maps, but there is a sign at the door.

A variety of shops with some selling local produce. The market is open weekly Wednesday and Saturday from 10 am until 2pm with a handicraft market on Sundays also from 10 until 2pm. The shops inside are open every day. Onside car park.

Lovely indoor and outdoor flea market. Outside the shopping centre and located on the top carpark open on sat 8-2 and Wednesday.

We attended the Sunday 'flea' market. The equivalent of an English jumble sale or car boot. Interesting mix of stalls, selling used items intermingled with craft stalls. Not to mention the most unique one man band!

if only we had a social sense in England, we would have places like this. busy with shoppers, stall holders from collectables to flee market to hyperstore plus many more. Butcher, fishmongers bars, cafes, restaurants. And people talking to each other.

Visited here on holiday. Not woth it. Old worn out stuff outside. Jumble sale. Inside a few stalls and shops. Got a coffee upstairs. It just wasn't worth the walk there. Not really much to buy. Very disappointed. Would not bother again. There a bus which you can get. Takes you to a different market. Went last year But didn't get a chance this time round. Don't waste yr time going here. 😕

Very lively square. Lots of activities, bars and restaurants. Today we had a show prepared by Asian kids. Very adorable and interesting. Besides, the carnival has started so maybe that is why there are so many people? Streets around the square are busy with people. Everybody wants to be there and have a bite or pint. In the middle of the square there is a nice restaurant where you can enjoy every meal. Breakfast for a start

Busy place, locals and tourists go there for food and to hangout. A bit overpriced in my opinion. Something to see.

Place is ok ,not a lot of choice, nice smoking area on the balcony

AVOID!! We went in casino first day (13.8.23) we arrived, partner was looking around and went to play on the roulette table, the old balded head man working tapped me on the shoulder 3 times & told me I wasn't allowed on my phone, asked me to show him my phone but I had nothing to show him as I wasn't doing anything on my phone. Gave me the death stare as I put my phone in my pocket. The man then told me to follow him back to the entrance and pointed at the smallest sign saying 'no phones' yet didn't bother saying anything when I walked in the door. Absolute joke! My partner went in a few days later as had some euros left, was allowed to walk in without anyone saying anything to him. Partner put the money in the machine & was then asked for ID as it wss after midnight. My partner explained to the man he allowed him to walk in, watch him put money in and then ask for ID whereas he should have asked for ID before allowing him to enter! He then told the man he was playing the €15 he'd put in and the machine said €75, said he'd won €395 and he was paid out €79. Doesn't make any sense... Just very rude workers in there, miserable & they pretend they can't talk English!

They didn't answer my phone calls, they didn't answer my several emails when I tried to ask about if they had any poker tournaments running. So I took 2 busses and waisted half a day just to travel at the casino just to find out that there is none. There is also a big sign outside the casino informing about poker. Yawn... There might be people here working but they simply don't care.

Staff ha went in did not have my vest on, now they could have said please but No two screaming and pointing, I then got my back up because my arm is in a sling. Vest on was about to walk out but sod it 10€ on machine dropped 205€ , they were gutted result walked out. Odd do not like seeing bare chest but let people lose money ? gambling dens across the globe. They pulled my review so I've had to edit it.had edit again see what's wrong now.

I come to play poker tournaments here once a week. There is a room with coin machines and another room with two roulette tables, one blackjack table and one poker table. There are no cash games at the Puerto Casino, just the tournaments twice a week (friday and saturday) 10 people, buy-in 35 euro with re-buys until first break.

Absolute SCAM *AVOID* Spent around 250 euros in this casino and not a single payout, played slots and not 1 bonus round. No one else is getting any payouts. It’s a scam. Worst casino I’ve ever been in. Needs to be investigated!!

Had a great time here tonight. Cheap beers are a plus

I watched the flamenco pasion show which was captivating and inspiring. The dancers are graceful and passionate. Very beautiful. There was also a history of Flamenco dancing introduced in the beginning of the show which was informative.

Great flamenco show with impressive dancers and beautiful costumes. First half feels more like a Broadway show with mixed dances and also elements of ballet. Second half is more emotional "real" flamenco with live musicians.

Barry White tribute act. Excellent performance by the singer, had the whole theatre up dancing. Would definitely recommend, great night out .

Flamenco show was amazing, very talented artists and lovely dresses! Both music and dancers were above expectations. Bravo! I definitely recommend. 💃💃💃

The Flamenco show was excellent. It was vibrant, the choreography was superb and the whole show was amazing. It felt like we'd been transported back in time to Sacramonte. So happy to have booked this for our final night before departure & can highly recommend it, it's a must-see.

Took my mom for Mother’s Day. She absolutely loved it. The theatrical scenic presence, the pathos of the dancers 💃🏼, the ballet 🩰 and music were all such a great combination 🥰. Although, I would’ve loved to see more than one of the girls taking over the show.

Fantastic small theatre with good seats, lots of leg room. We saw the Bee Gees who were very good. Note there is no bar on site.

Amazing museum full of hand crafted ships and boats, and other maritime art. There are model vessels from all over the world, from all different periods. It’s a free museum, but there is a donations box to help keep the place running, which I’d recommend a small donation as it is a great museum. It was unmanned when I visited - no back packs, I’m guessing because there are a large number of models and tight passages through the shelves so backpacks could knock them over when you’re passing through. Definitely worth the visit, and you could spend some time here if you wanted to. 👍

What a fantastic and very interesting museum! Worth spending half an hour and at no cost to visit! There is a donation box to leave however much you like towards the upkeep of the place.

Beautiful place, free of charge. If you are interested in ships and other marine vessels you can't miss it!

Nice little museum. Admission is free ( donations can be made).

Interesting museum and entry is by donation. Lots to see and some amazing craft work. Worth calling in for a looking around.

Such ship models are not easy to assemble! Great work

Excellent museum with many sailing ships, submarines, cargo ships 🚢🛳️

Overwhelmed by the rowdy migrants as most of the seafront from Plaza del Charco to Costa Martianez swimming pools sea front. If this is where North Tenerife is going to, I would not be visiting anymore on top of foul contaminated beaches and “tourists go home” attitude - good luck with your local and African ghetto

Nice garden to sit for a short rest and enjoy the well-kept flowers and vegetation

Small but absolutely stunning square

A small square pretty nice environment.

Beautiful romantic park

Tiny, yet beautiful

Park

This old defence was built directly on the small cliffs to protect the town. It is in very good condition with some very old canons still in place. From here you get a nice view to the left to the port and amusement park and to the right of the town and beach and Rock pools. If you do a full 180 and look behind you can also see the top of the Teide Volcano. Definitely take a stroll down the promenade to this point and watch the Atlantic especially on a rough day

Nice oryginal cannons from 1700- 1740. Part of old fortifications. Interesting and historical place with lovely views.

Such a stunning place! Super quiet, you can only hear the waves Perfect to watch the sunset and listen to the sea!

The Santa Barbara Battery is a defensive structure adjacent to the Casa de la Real Aduana in Plaza de Europa, opposite the town hall and Casa Miranda.It was ordered to be built to protect the Old Port from possible attacks by pirates and corsairs. The collection of cannons of the 18th and 19th centuries, handed over by the Ministry of Defense in 1992, in memory of those that once existed (there were four, two iron and two bronze, with the coats of arms of Portugal and Holland, since they arrived from a Dutch ship) stands apart.Built in the 18th century from a semi-circular pier with stairs, where the Santa Barbara Battery was built years later to protect boats arriving in port.

A old fortress in the middle of a busy town is eye catching. Kept in very good condition too

Maybe the nicest part of puerto cruz. Some parts of the old town are elegant and creatively connecting new and old. For a touristy town, this old fortress is a full win.

One of the best spots in Puerto de la Cruz. Best to watch and listen to the sea. Close to the old harbour where you can also swim.

Beautiful spot in the mid of Puerto de la Cruz. A lot of restaurants around the plaza and only a few minutes to get to plaza charco and a lot of other bars and restaurants.

My favourite place! Nice atmosphere. The service is great. Good cocktails as well. It's on a little, cosy square, where sometimes live music plays. Local people come here as well and that says a lot!

Fantastic town square at night: cosy, vibrant, not too touristic, very authentic.

Nice and cozy place in beautiful park. Food and service was very good.

Nice quiet square with some good bars and restaurants on it. Musicians play here.

This is a very relaxing place with music. There is a little bit of rumor for a resturant called "Don Camillo" but the site is very beautiful!

An attractive plaza with several restaurants /bars; the locals hang out here.

Statue of St. Mary with Jesus in her arms. The Veneration of the Virgen del Carmen, often also associated with the Stella Maris, is particularly strong in coastal towns of Spain. The story of ‘Stella Maris’ (Virgen del Carmen), goes back to Old Testament times when the prophet Elias, after having devoted her life to preaching, retreated to live in a cave at Mount Carmel in Israel. Many centuries later, hermits following Elias’ example of silence and loneliness, asked for the protection of the Virgen Mary of Mount Carmelo, which over time became Virgen del Carmen.

A common statue.

Historical place

(Translated by Google) Puerto de la Cruz cannot be understood without the veneration we have for the Virgin of Carmen. If you want to understand it, go to its patron saint festivities with the boat of the virgin in the month of July. The devotion of the people is respected and felt (Original) No se puede entender el Puerto de la Cruz sin la veneración que se tiene a la Virgen del Carmen. Si lo quieres entender acude a sus fiestas patronales con la embarcación de la virgen en el mes de julio. Se respeta y se siente la devoción del pueblo

(Translated by Google) Controversial and absurd sculpture about a religious character. Erected on public land with part of the Catholic establishment against it, due to its very concept and unnecessaryness. Artistically it is a rather mediocre and disappointing work. A shameful tourist attraction. (Original) Escultura polémica y absurda sobre un personaje religioso. Erigida sobre suelo público con parte de los estamentos católicos en contra, por el propio concepto e innecesidad de la misma. Artísticamente es una obra bastante mediocre y decepcionante. Un reclamo turístico vergonzoso.

A beach that has portions of sand and large boulders, in equal measure. Not very well maintained, there is a lot of seaweed brought by the waves on the shore. Many of the visitors seem to be locals. There doesn't seem to be any kiosk/bar in the immediate vicinity, where you can get something to drink or a snack.

Playas Puerto de la Cruz includes Playa del Castillo and Playa María Jiménez, two dark sand beaches on the north coast designed in 1990 by Canarian artist César Manrique. A scenic promenade with gardens, cafés, restaurants, and playgrounds runs alongside the beaches. On clear days, you can see Teide and even La Palma, and sunsets here are spectacular. Both beaches have showers, toilets, lifeguards, and sunbeds and umbrellas for rent. The water is usually safe for swimming, with a gradual entry, though caution is needed during rough weather. The area can get crowded on weekends and public holidays. Parking is free along the nearby streets or in a lot about 500 m away, but spaces fill quickly in busy periods. Bus: Lines 354, 381 to Playa Jardín stop. More info on the website: honest-tenerife

A very beautiful beach with black volcanic sand and palm trees. The waves can be huge and hard hitting, which can shake you up, but also calm for a good swim. A great time for relaxing in the sun with a beautiful view especially as the sun dissappear in the horizon.

Beautiful location, very nice boardwalk. Not too busy these days.

A really relaxing and beautiful beach with black volcanic sand and plam trees. I looked up places to watch the sunset. And this place did not disappoint. The sunset is gorgeous from here, never seen anything like it😍 You can sit on the beach or on the promenade. It's a nice play to chill and relax at any time of the day or night.

Beautiful black beach. But swimming is very difficult because of the rocky bottom and strong waves. It is better to have special shoes. The waves are constantly knocking over the feet and dragging on the stones. I always came out of the water covered in scratches. Lifeguards, a toilet, a changing room and a restaurant on the shore are open until 16:00. There are also sunbeds and umbrellas for an additional fee

Nice beach for the north of the island. It is mostly black sand with the ever present few rocks but access to the water and the amount of room for bathing is much better here than many places. As with most of the beaches it is watched over by a lifeguard. As you sit on the beach beautiful music can be heard and the waves crashing against the beach it is a wonderful holiday feeling very relaxed as opposed to the noisy party areas of the south! This beach is very family friendly in that there are toilets, safe spaces to paddle and sunbeds with umbrellas for hire. The 'jardin' (garden) nearby is visible to the left as you sit looking at the sea and adds to the beautiful feeling of this beach. To the right as you look at the sea there is a seawall, with cannons and a sculpture on it. We saw a couple of hawkers selling big sheets for sitting on or wearing but they were friendly and respectful. Lovely place to come

(Translated by Google) Beautiful seawater swimming pool in Puerto de la Cruz. The city and the lava coast offer many impressions. Best regards. (Original) Wunderschönes Meerwasserschimmbad in Puerto de la Cruz. Viele Eindrücke bietet die Stadt und die Lavaküste. Liebe Grüße.

Nice view. Although it is quite difficult to come without a car.

Loved the view. Interesting historical information available.

Nice view, but the place is deserted. The upper gate is open. Lower is closed. Facile parking outside on the street but only for 5 cars. There is no place to sit. Nobody is there. It's shame since it looks very built out.⁸

Beautiful views and very easy access from the main motorway. Buses stop taking up most parking space but there’s spots to stop just a bit further ahead of you are unable to park on the day.

Its a nice spot and with good views but there is also a coach stop so it could get very busy. It looks like it was designed to have a cafe but the outdoor space is too small. Lots of parking again strange for theres nothing but a view!

View of part of the northern coast and Puerto de la Cruz, one of the largest cities in the north. You will also see the TF5 highway and, of course, the monument to the German naturalist and traveler Alexander von Humboldt. You can visit when you are nearby.

Nice viewpoint but a little dangerous to get to without car as you have to walk along the the main road which has a number of sharp bends.
