Which route serves it, from which airport, how long does it take, and what to do if there’s no bus.
From Tenerife North Airport to La Laguna
The municipality in which the Norte Airport itself is situated: a historic centre listed as a World Heritage Site and a university town.
La Laguna is the municipality where the Norte Airport itself is located, so the journey is short: the line 20 passes through the town centre a few minutes after leaving the terminal, on its way to Santa Cruz.
It is also a useful stop for far more people than it might seem: the historic centre of La Laguna is a World Heritage Site, the university is located there, and the transport hub serves as the starting point for routes to Anaga and the north of the island. There is no direct route from the southern airport: you have to go via Santa Cruz.

If the bus isn’t any use to you
If the bus doesn’t suit your timetable, the other options from the terminal are the taxi —picked up at the arrivals hall, without a booking, charged by the meter—, a private transfer at a fixed price, or a car hire, which, on an island the size of Tenerife, makes quite a difference to the journey.
