When to visit Tenerife

If you prefer a winter sun holiday, you should visit Tenerife from October to February. The winter months are the peak season for winter sun in the Canary Islands. Still, there are plenty of activities on the island all year round, so if you want to escape the cold weather in the UK, Tenerife in October is highly recommended. In the weeks leading up to Lent, Santa Cruz de Tenerife hosts one of the world's largest carnival celebrations.

British passport holders can visit visa-free for up to 90 days. Passports must be issued less than 10 years before the date of entry and valid for at least three months after the day of departure. The EU Entry/Exit System (EES) requires biometric registration at the border, and officials may ask for proof of accommodation, a return ticket and sufficient funds.
