Welcome to Tucson, Arizona

Welcome to Tucson, Arizona

Desert beauty is one of the most noticeable things about the city, from the painted and photographed landscapes of local artists to the real peaks and dives of nearby Sabino Canyon. Home to the University of Arizona, Tucson has great restaurants and bars that appeal to students as well as visiting family members. What the city itself is most known for, however, is its stunning historic Southwestern architecture. Sites like the Sosa-Carrillo Fremont House Museum and the San Xavier Del Bac Mission stand as echoes of centuries past.

The stark desert landscape surrounding Tucson made it a favorite site for filming Westerns. Visit Old Tucson Studios, where movies like Tombstone and Dirty Dingus Magee were filmed.

Originally constructed as a movie set in the 1950s, Trail Dust Town is now another Old West mini-town, with restaurants, Wild West shows and shops to enjoy.
