San Cristobal de La Laguna is a World Heritage Site thanks to its architecture and beautiful cobbled streets. In the area there are a mixture of colonial and modern houses. Important places to visit include the Cathedral of San Cristobal. Visitors to San Cristobal de La Laguna might also enjoy exploring the wide range of local shops, restaurants, bars, galleries, and museums. La Laguna might have a colonial history, but it is also very much a 21st century cosmopolitan city.

In about a fifteen-minute drive from San Cristobal de La Laguna visitors can arrive to the capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife. This port city has an historic centre with lively terrace bars. If travellers have a couple of hours to spare, they can walk along la Calle Castillo (Castle Street) to the museum areas, Plaza del Príncipe and Plaza España. If time allows it, visitors might also enjoy strolling around the Tenerife Arts Space, a modern art museum.
