When you land
Things to do in Tucson
Tucson is Arizona’s second-largest city, set in a desert basin ringed by five mountain ranges and some of the densest saguaro forests anywhere. The University of Arizona, with its strengths in optics, planetary science and astronomy, anchors the economy alongside Raytheon’s missile business, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, a large healthcare sector and a cluster of optics and aerospace companies. Mountaintop observatories on Kitt Peak and Mount Graham make the region a center of astronomy, and Tucson was the first city in the United States designated a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, for food traditions that run back thousands of years.

Split into districts east and west of the city, the park protects forests of giant saguaro cactus, with scenic loop drives, desert trails and petroglyphs at Signal Hill.

Completed in the late 1700s on the Tohono O’odham Nation south of the city, the “White Dove of the Desert” is a masterpiece of Spanish Colonial architecture and still an active parish.
