Tucson Travel Guide
Tucson is a comfortable mix of Old West,
Mexican, Native American and Spanish. It's more than the
cowboy image of old jeans and trail-worn boots, however.
Tucson is emerging as an urban center of tourism,
international trade and high-tech industry.
In this desert city of almost constant sun, traditional
adobe architecture and modern high-rises stand
shoulder-to-shoulder. Traditional folklorico mingles with
modern art, dance and music. Cuisine encompasses everything
from traditional bean salads to fine French.
The mix of ancient and modern extends beyond the city, too.
Tucson is surrounded by interesting day-trip destinations.
Some take you through the fascinating desert landscape in
which Tucson lies, and some lead you through the human
history of the region, which includes everything from
Spanish missions to nuclear missiles. Others will help you
enjoy the splendid scenery and recreational activities—with
more than 300 days of sunshine each year, people in Tucson
are passionate about being outdoors.
