Arizona has so much to see with its vast expanses of breathtaking views and natural beauty as an iconic destination with a ton of character. Phoenix, the state capital, is the most populous state capitol in the country, packed full of people who dig the hustle and bustle of the urban Arizona lifestyle. The state draws people of all types, including outdoor enthusiasts, wine lovers, nature aficionados, spa seekers, foodies, road trippers, and adventurists.
As an area that was initially a part of Mexico, Arizona didn’t officially receive statehood until 1912. This heritage is evident in many of the cities, towns, and landmark names across the state. With awe-inspiring deserts, Arizona is home to some of the most spacious views, including Grand Canyon Park, one of the seven Wonders of the World. You may even catch a glimpse of the Saguaro Cactus, native only to Arizona.
Visit in the springtime to catch a glimpse of the baseball training season, a tradition dating back to 1947. Browse through the Prima Air and Space Museum to satisfy your curiosity, or hit up the Tucson Museum of Art for a dose of culture. A musical hub, Arizona will delight music lovers of nearly every genre. Don’t forget to treat yourself to a Sonoran hot dog or grab a slice of pizza that gives Chicagoans and New Yorkers a run for their money. Stop in for a Diamondbacks game, sample some wine, drink in the Old West—and do it all without losing track of the time…because Arizona is one of the few places that has said "adios" to daylight savings time.
Be ready for the heat and some genuinely astonishing outdoor views in vibrant, sunny Arizona.
