10 Best Things to Do After Dinner in Tenerife

At Castillo San Miguel in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, you’ll walk into an entirely different world and learn about history by immersing yourself right in it. Built using canto stone, this 6,000-square-metre castle replicates what it would’ve looked like in medieval times – complete with imposing towers and a massive tournament hall.

Be treated like royalty as your ‘loyal subjects’ usher you around the castle. Enjoy a scrumptious dinner as you watch resplendent knights jousting on the 50-metre-long sand track. Marvel at their skills as they throw javelins and fight with swords. After the dinner show, you can dance the night away at the Grand Ballroom.

Brahms and Liszt is one of the most popular show bars in Tenerife. It has been delighting guests with live music and performances for over 25 years. Nightly cabaret shows offer a wonderful mix of entertainment. Groove to funky music, laugh out loud watching a hilarious comedy show or experience the soulful vibe of jazz. While enjoying the show, you can sip some cocktails and sample scrumptious pub platters.

Brahms and Liszt Showbar is among Tenerife’s most popular places, so seats often get filled fast. Make sure to get there early if you happen to visit during peak season.

A myriad of emotions can wash over you as you listen to the symphony of a live orchestra. Check out their schedule of events online and book your tickets early.

The Adan Martin Auditorium, also known simply as the Tenerife Auditorium, is one of Santa Cruz’s landmarks. Aside from year-round performances that can appeal to everyone's musical taste, the arts complex itself is a feast for the eyes. The roof resembles a massive crashing wave about to disappear into the vast ocean right beside it. At night, it is illuminated by bright white light or colourful hues on special occasions – definitely Instagram-worthy.

After dinner, enjoy a glass of champagne or your favourite cocktail at the veranda overlooking the seafront. Watch the waves glistening under the moonlight or stroll in the garden and adjacent square.
