The incredible city of Santa Cruz has many hop-off points for you to go and explore the culture of Tenerife. Three of our most recommended is Plaza de España, The Auditorium, and the African Market. Plaza de España is located at Bus Stop number 1. Be sure to have a look around, with the beautiful water fountain surrounded by trees and flowers, along with sensational pieces of architecture. Pop down to the museum underneath, to find out all about the history of this area - where Lord Nelson had his arm shot off in battle! The Auditorium is the 8th Bus Stop. Situated by the picturesque pools of Santa Cruz, take a stroll around this incredible building - and don't forget to pack a camera! The African Market (El Mercado Africano) is the 11th Bus Stop, and is visited by people from all over the island every Sunday when you can really soak up the atmosphere and look around the vast variety of stalls to pick up a souvenir or two! Some attractions are free but others have an entrance fee that is not included.

Included are 2 Guided Walks. From Plaza de España there is the 'Historic route' guided walk, which will really make you feel part of Santa Cruz's history as you retrace the footsteps of Lord Nelson, and learn all about the battles fought for the island. The other guided walk is at Garcia Sanabria Park - Bus Stop number 4 - one of the most sensational parks in Tenerife.

You will also get entrance to the stunning Botanical garden on the coast of Santa Cruz. Enjoy a stroll around the vibrant and colorful plants and trees - and embrace this natural beauty! The Museum of Nature and Man, which is located in the center of Santa Cruz not far from the African Market, is also included in your bus pass. Hop off at Bus Stop 11 and take a look! From Bus Stop 10, you will have so much more of Tenerife right at your fingertips. The Bus Station has links to all over the island, and with your City Sightseeing pass you can get on two of them for free - visit the wonderful Teresitas Beach and feel the perfect warm sand underneath you as you look out to the ocean or up at the mountains. There is also a bus to La Laguna from the bus station which you can also have a free ride on - visit this historical city which used to be the capital of Tenerife.
