When to visit

The best time to visit Lanzarote is during the spring and autumn months when the weather is mild and perfect for outdoor activities. Summer can be hot with temperatures reaching over 30°C, while winter is cooler but still pleasant for sightseeing. Avoid visiting during the peak summer months if you prefer fewer crowds.

Getting around

Getting around Lanzarote is easy with a rental car, as the island has well-maintained roads and plenty of parking. Public buses are also available for those who prefer not to drive. Taxis are another convenient option for short distances, and cycling is a popular way to explore the island at a leisurely pace.

Traveller tips

Make sure to try the local dish 'papas arrugadas' (wrinkled potatoes) with mojo sauce. Pack sunscreen and a hat to protect yourself from the strong sun. Carry cash as some smaller establishments may not accept credit cards. Learn a few basic Spanish phrases to communicate with locals. Respect the environment and follow designated trails when exploring natural areas. Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water, especially during the hot summer months.
