Tenerife is just a step away from making it among the top ten most popular destinations in Europe to spend your holidays, according to the ratings of users on the travel-specialized website TripAdvisor.
In fact, in the 2024 Travellers’ Choice Awards edition, the island appears in the eleventh position on this list, with only two other Spanish destinations ranking higher: Madrid and Barcelona.
These awards recognize, among others, the favourite destinations, hotels, things to do, and restaurants of travellers based on the opinions and comments collected from travellers and customers worldwide on TripAdvisor over a period of 12 months.
Therefore, in the category of popular destinations in Europe, Tenerife ranks among historically coveted places such as Rome or trendy new destinations like Santorini.

Why Choose Tenerife?
Regarding the arguments explaining this positive result of the island among tourists, TripAdvisor highlights its leisure offerings and unique landscapes, without forgetting its history: “Clearly influenced by the tribal culture of the Guanches (its original inhabitants), the Spanish conquerors arrived in Tenerife 500 years ago,” the website indicates.
It refers to the “perfect mix of relaxation and outdoor adventure” and points out the must-visit places for the tourist visiting the island. Thus, it recommends the Teide National Park, which is home to Spain’s highest peak and also a unique space for star-gazing.
A sea trip to enjoy Los Gigantes or a walk through the historic centre of La Laguna are other recommendations from TripAdvisor, which does not overlook the leisure offerings.
It notes that “visitors flock” to facilities like Loro Parque and highlights above all activities a visit to Siam Park, selected for several editions as the best water park in the world according to the Travellers’ Choice Awards themselves.
