They're mostly synonyms. However, "tranquil" describes the emotional state of the observer. So if we see a tranquil scenery, it means that it makes whoever sees it feel tranquil. "Serene", on the other hand, describes the object of observation itself. A serene scenery can make someone feel tranquil, but it can't make them feel serene.
