How to Get from Tenerife South Airport (TFS) to Los Cristianos

Welcome to Tenerife! If you have just landed at Tenerife South Airport (TFS), also known as Reina Sofía Airport, you are only a stone's throw away from paradise. Los Cristianos is located just about 15 kilometers (around 9 miles) from the terminal, making it a quick and stress-free journey to kickstart your holiday.

Whether you are looking for the fastest route or the most budget-friendly option to reach our premium los cristianos tenerife holiday rentals , here is your complete, up-to-date transportation guide.

The Best Transportation Options from TFS to Los Cristianos

1. By Public Bus (Guagua) – The Budget Option

The public bus system in Tenerife (run by the company TITSA) is clean, efficient, and very affordable. The bright green buses stop right outside the arrivals terminal.

• Line 40: This is the most direct route. It connects the airport directly with Los Cristianos and Playa de las Américas, running every 30 minutes during the day.
• Lines 111 and 711: These lines also connect the airport to the main Los Cristianos bus station, though they continue on to other destinations.
• Price & Time: It costs around €3.20 per person, and the journey takes roughly 20 minutes. You can pay directly on the bus with a contactless credit/debit card.

2. By Taxi – The Fastest and Most Convenient Way

If you are traveling with heavy luggage, young children, or simply want to get to your accommodation as fast as possible, the official taxi rank is located right outside the arrivals hall.

• Fare: A standard daytime taxi from TFS to Los Cristianos typically costs between €25 and €32. Fares might be slightly higher at night (after 10:00 PM) or on weekends.
• Time: Only 12 to 15 minutes door-to-door.

3. Car Rentals – For the Ultimate Freedom

If you plan on exploring the island, visiting Mount Teide, or heading to the golf courses, renting a car directly at the airport is highly recommended. Major international and local companies (like Cicar or AutoReisen) operate right inside the terminal. Driving to Los Cristianos is incredibly straightforward via the TF-1 motorway, taking the exit number 72.
