Tenerife Carnaval 2025 – Travel 4 kids recommends
- Travel with Travel 4 kids and Club Canary – no need to worry about how to get there, where to park, and so on. Public buses are often overcrowded. Taxis are hard to call, and as a rule, they raise prices during these events. If you’re driving yourself, be prepared for long traffic jams and the exhausting search for parking. Our partner’s transport service is the best choice as it ensures you will be close to the celebration without the hassle!
- You can also travel to the capital by public transport. You can find public transport schedules on the TITSA website.
- If you want to participate in the carnaval and stay overnight in Santa Cruz, look for accommodation outside the capital (hotels significantly raise their prices).
- While attending carnaval events in the capital, be sure to visit the Carnaval Museum. The museum has a permanent exhibition with costumes and unique carnaval elements. Carnaval Museum website and registration for a visit. Entrance is free.
- Make sure to bring the right costume. Where to buy costumes? CHINA TOWN Las Chafiras, PANDA BAZAR Las Chafiras, PANDA BAZAR Adeje, CAROLAN Las Chafiras.
- Don’t forget sunscreen. This is especially important if you plan to attend the carnaval during the day.
