Tucson is a hybrid city where the Old West teams up with the New South to create a sunny blend of tradition and innovation. An energetic college town, Tucson is home to the University of Arizona, where thousands of students buzz throughout the city, bringing diverse backgrounds, academia, and vigor to the environment.
Second largest in Arizona only to Phoenix, Tucson is built on an anthology of distinct neighborhoods that gives it more of a small-town, approachable feel. 19th century buildings line many of the major streets in Tucson, casting a glow of history, authenticity, and character that sets the stage for a memorable travel experience. Comprised of flat valleys and abundant mountain ranges, the city blends its culture just as well as it does its geography.
Once in Tucson, you’ll immediately sense the cultural harmony of the city’s forward-thinking community and its backward reaching hold on its sacred history. Partially surrounded by the Saguaro National Park, Tucson manages to link its natural paradise with its developed innovations, like golf resorts, art museums, galleries, and restaurants. Its cultural beat resonates throughout each of the separate neighborhoods, and the gorgeous weather, cactus scenery, and Hispanic roots make it very appealing.
While there are some slight differences in the city’s seasonal climate, you can visit Tucson any time of the year to experience warm weather, sunny days, and outdoor bliss. Summer sizzles with temperatures in the 80’s and 90’s, but rainfall makes more than the occasional appearance in the months of July and August. Even in the winter, temperatures only drop to the 50’s and 60’s, creating perfect conditions for 18 holes on the green.
All year round, travelers flood Tucson to enjoy its unbeatable weather, outdoor facilities, and cultural activities. No matter when you go, you’ll be satisfied.
Peak Season:
For the ideal weather, visit Tucson from September to April, when the sun is bearable, and rainfall is rare.
Off-peak Season:
July and August are known to jump back and forth between scorching hot days, and muggy, wet showers. Although the hit-or-miss weather may seem unreliable, it’s possible to find deals on accommodations and cheap flights to Tucson during the summer.
Tucson doesn’t have much public transportation. When your land, you’ll need to board a taxi or shuttle from the airport for a short, 10-mile drive downtown. You’ll want to rent a car or bike to get around the city, but there are buses and Amtrak trains to cities like Phoenix and Los Angeles.
Saguaro National Park: It’s impossible to ignore the elegance and stillness of Tucson’s vibrant landscape. Easily recognized, the cactus is the symbol of the desert, which to this day still represents the vastness and wonder of Tucson as a city. Cacti can grow as tall as trees, and while they are somewhat threatened by increasing development and planters, they still don the city as spiky green banners. A stroll in Saguaro National Park will show you just how beautiful this plant truly is. Hiking trails and observation points allow for unforgettable photo opportunities and forest picnics with unbeatable views. If you’re booking flights to Tucson for the joy of natural wonder, and are still aching for more, then consider renting a car and making the 350-mile trek to the triumphant Grand Canyon. The trip can last up to seven hours by car, so you may want to consider staying overnight.
University of Arizona: All those hoodie-wearing, book-toting, beer-drinking students might seem like they own the city, but what they’re really doing is taking advantage of all of Tucson’s amazing opportunities around every corner. Sometime during your Tucson travel, make a point to visit the University of Arizona’s campus, where buildings steeped in academia are paired with sprawling green space, all containing the city’s future innovators. Pay special attention to the University’s Museum of Art, which encompasses works spanning from the Renaissance to the 20th century. Famed pros like Rembrandt, Picasso, O’Keeffe, Warhol, and Rothko don the walls of this special collection.
Great Tucson Beer Festival: If you’re all about malt hops, barley, and a little carbonation, then book flights to Tucson to enjoy its annual Great Tucson Beer Festival, which takes place every September. Held in Tucson’s Electric Park Stadium, the festivities welcome people from all over the country. Beer loves sample from over 60 of the finest breweries in the southwest showcasing more than 200 different brews. Beer, snacks, and live music pack the place every year, so be sure to buy your tickets in advance.
Spas: If you’re not a running, jumping, outdoorsy kind of traveler, there’s something more relaxing in Tucson: The perfect way to shake off your aches is to spend a luxurious day at one of the city’s most lavish spas. Some center around health and fitness, and others master pure relaxation. Spend an hour immersing yourself in a decadent hot stone massage, or treat yourself to a facial, seaweed wrap, or all-over scrub to feel your best. Spend a peaceful day of solitude on your own, or pamper you and someone special by booking a spa day for two.
Tucson International Airport (TUS) is the gateway to Arizona’s stark, beautiful, desert landscape. It is just six miles (10 km) from downtown Tucson and has good transport options to get passengers to and from the airport. There are fewer than 10 airlines offering flights to Tucson International Airport. Passengers can fly directly to Tucson from several cities across the United States, including Chicago, Houston, Seattle and Los Angeles.
The airport has a good number of restaurants as well as shopping opportunities ranging from golfing equipment to souvenirs and gifts. If none of those interests you, then the arts and culture program is sure to keep passengers entertained. A permanent exhibition and a number of temporary installations convey the culture and beauty of Arizona. Passenger feedback indicates that Tucson’s relatively small size means shorter queues and friendlier service than larger airfields.
