La Laguna, or San Cristóbal de La Laguna, served as Tenerife’s capital until the 18th century and remains the island’s historic heart. The UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Town features cobbled streets and colonial architecture, providing visitors with a wealth of picturesque scenes. Today, this lively student town invites exploration, where the textured cobblestones and rows of colonial buildings create a charming and authentic atmosphere.
