TUCSON – REAL. NATURAL. ARIZONA.

A trip to Tucson is an exciting and authentic Southwest adventure.

Visitors can explore mile after mile of pristine desert with cactus like no where else on earth. With 350 sunny days a year, Tucson is perfect for outdoor fun in any season. Tucson's backdrop of mountains is unbelievably close, offering miles of hiking and cycling trails. Guest ranches offer horseback riding and Western fun. Golfers can play the same courses the PGA pros do and experience exciting target golf, or enjoy the more traditional links-style layout. Many visitors prefer to kick back by the pool and relax. Warm days blend into cool and calming nights at Tucson's world-class resorts, spas, and hotels. From award-winning restaurants and Southwestern gourmet delights to casual cowboy steakhouses and famous Mexican food, Tucson appeals to all tastes.

A rich blend of American, Indian and Mexican cultures has created a thriving arts community. Tucson is one of a few U.S. cities to boast it's own symphony, ballet, opera, and theatre companies. Tucson is home to some of the most renowned attractions in Arizona, including Saguaro National Park, Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, Pima Air & Space Museum, Old Tucson Studios, and Mission San Xavier del Bac. Within a short drive into Southern Arizona, visitors can see the famous Old West town of Tombstone, charming arts communities of Tubac and Bisbee, and the pristine underground formations at Kartchner Caverns State Park near Benson.
