Tucson, Arizona Overview

Tucson may be the second-largest city in Arizona, but it certainly doesn't play second fiddle as a vacation destination. Mother Nature's lavish gifts - the Sonoran desert and five mountain ranges - create a vibrant setting for a laid-back getaway and a number of renowned golf courses. A fine complement to the countryside is Tucson's Southwestern personality, an intriguing union of elements from its Native American and Mexican roots. Begin a trip to Tucson by exploring one of the city's top attractions: the Tucson Botanical Gardens, the Reid Park Zoo, the Arizona Historical Society Museum, or the Tucson Museum of Contemporary Art.
