The capital of Tenerife stands out for its compact size, green spaces, and excellent connectivity with the rest of the island. The tram links Santa Cruz with La Laguna, while TITSA buses reach the airport, Anaga, major shopping centers, and coastal areas. With pedestrian areas, bike lanes, and the proximity between neighborhoods, Santa Cruz is a perfect city to explore on foot or by public transport. That said, your experience will be much more comfortable if you choose accommodation in a well-connected area.
If you’re planning to travel to Tenerife without renting a car, the location of your accommodation is key. At Apartamentos Bruja, we offer a stay with all the amenities to discover Santa Cruz on foot or by public transport, with the added value of personal attention, privileged views, and a real commitment to sustainable tourism.
