Vibrant city life thrives against the Sonoran Desert.
As the largest city in Arizona, Phoenix is the heart of Southwestern urban culture. This cosmopolitan center is home to thriving arts districts, rooftop bars, live music, pro sports teams, craft breweries and historic neighborhoods. And it’s easy to get outside the city to hike Camelback Mountain, climb Piestewa Peak, wander the Desert Botanical Garden and experience the unreal beauty of the Sonoran Desert.
