About Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Santa Cruz de Tenerife is the co-capital of the Canary Islands and the main cruise port of Tenerife, with a modern terminal located in the heart of the city. The city's highlights include the striking Auditorio de Tenerife (designed by Santiago Calatrava), the Museo de la Naturaleza y el Hombre, and a lively pedestrian shopping district. Tenerife's main visitor attractions — Teide National Park with Pico del Teide, Spain's highest peak at 3,715 m, and the resort areas of the south — require a taxi or excursion as they are 60–90 minutes from the port.
