I’m Jhonty Rohdes, your trusted travel agent, and if you're still wondering what to do in Tenerife that’s truly out of this world—literally—then you must experience stargazing at Teide Observatory.
Located high up on Mount Teide, far from city lights, the observatory offers one of the clearest night skies in Europe. Thanks to its high altitude, low light pollution, and dry atmosphere, this is one of the world’s top locations for astronomical observation. It’s not just a place to look at stars—it’s a place to understand the universe.
On a guided night tour, you’ll get to peer through powerful telescopes, learn about constellations, planets, and galaxies, and even see Saturn’s rings or Jupiter’s moons if the timing is right. During the day, you can also tour the observatory itself, discovering how real astronomers study the cosmos.
