What is the cheapest time of year to visit Canary Islands ?
There is no single verified cheapest time for the Canary Isles: airfares and accommodation prices vary by island, departure airport, booking date, availability and local demand. Compare flexible-date fares and accommodation across the region, particularly outside school-holiday and peak-demand periods, before booking.
What are the most popular places to visit in Canary Islands ?
The Canary Isles is a region of distinct islands rather than one resort area. Popular visitor highlights include Fuerteventura’s beaches and dunes; Gran Canaria’s Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Maspalomas; Lanzarote’s volcanic landscapes, including Timanfaya; La Palma’s Caldera de Taburiente and stargazing landscapes; and Tenerife’s Teide National Park and coastal resorts. Choose places according to the island or islands in your itinerary.
How do tourists get around in Canary Islands ?
Tourists use island bus networks, taxis, hire cars and organised excursions to travel within each island. Inter-island journeys are made by ferry or domestic flight, so allow for port or airport transfers when combining islands. The best option depends on the island, accommodation location and planned activities.
What travel documents do I need to fly to Canary Islands ?
The Canary Isles are part of Spain. Required travel documents depend on your nationality, residency, route and the type of document you hold, and requirements can change. Check the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs travel advice and the official Spanish entry information for the requirements that apply to you. Check the latest official guidance before you travel.
Do I need a car when visiting Canary Islands ?
A car is not essential for every Canary Isles holiday: buses, taxis, excursions and walking can work well when staying in a resort or city. Hiring a car can be useful for independently reaching rural areas, beaches, viewpoints and attractions away from main transport routes. Consider this separately for each island and your accommodation location.
How long does it take to get from the airport to the main tourist areas of Canary Islands ?
Transfer times vary by island, tourist area, traffic and transport option. Do not treat the Canary Isles as having one representative airport: check the airport serving your booked island. For Fuerteventura, check Fuerteventura Airport for transfers to the island’s beach and resort areas; for Gran Canaria, check Gran Canaria Airport for Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Maspalomas-area transfers; for Lanzarote, check César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport for resort-area transfers; for La Palma, check La Palma Airport for transfers to the island’s visitor areas; and for Tenerife, check both Tenerife North-Ciudad de La Laguna Airport and Tenerife South Airport, as they serve different parts of the island. Confirm current routes and journey times with the relevant official airport and local transport information before travelling.
