This is one of the concerns for many travellers: After all, what’s the point of spending eight hours on a plane for just a long weekend. The exact flight time is not entirely predictable – strong jet streams can trim or save time when crossing the Atlantic, for instance. It also depends if the flight is to Tenerife North (TFN) airport or Tenerife South (TFS). Here there is a few average flight time estimates for some European destinations.

Flight Length
Tenerife - Madrid 2h 30m
Tenerife - London 4h 00m
Tenerife - Manchester 4h 20m
Tenerife - Liverpool 4h 40m
Tenerife - Dublin 4h 30m
Tenerife - Glasgow 4h 40m
Tenerife - Frankfurt 4h 45m
Tenerife - Paris 3h 45m
Tenerife - Belfast 4h 40m
Tenerife - Newcastle 4h 40m
Tenerife - Berlin 5h 00m
Tenerife - Amsterdam 4h 40m

As the average time from Occidental Europe is four hours, it is not recommended to visit Tenerife just for a weekend. A long weekend or even better a week or two weeks is the ideal length to enjoy your visit and have enough time to get to know the island.

Above the tropic of Cancer, opposite to the African coast you will find Tenerife, the biggest island in the Canarian archipelago.

With only about two thousand square kilometers of abrupt geography and 350 kilometers of coast, it offers the visitors a lot of contrast and appeal that have made of the island one of the main European and International touristic destinations.

Seafarers and classic authors located here the Eden or Garden of Hesperides. Today it continues to be a natural jewel, anchored in the Atlantic, that maintains its personality and where you will still find all the luxury and comfort to relax and enjoy.

Taxi drivers are usually honest and polite in Tenerife. You can recognise Official licensed Taxis because they are white with a blue stripe in the front doors and they have a green light in the roof that indicates if they are free or if not, the number of passengers they are carrying.

There are two different fares, one for nights, weekends and holidays and one for day time weekdays.  The airport supplement is €1.65.

Day time Fare (from 06:00 to 22:00, weekdays): all or fraction of each kilometre: €0.47 minimum fare: €2.68; price per hour waiting, €12.79 and fractional rate for every 15 minutes €3.20.

Night time and holidays (from 22:00 to 6:00 and all day weekends and holidays): all or fraction of each kilometre: €0.58 minimum fare: €3.21; price per hour waiting €12.79 and fractional rate for every 15 minutes, €3.20.

All the previous taxi fares are the maximum allowed by the Canary Government.

Telephone: (+34)922 759 009
