Also known as the ”City of Sunshine” Tucson is set into a valley of southeastern Arizona, which experiences warm weather and serves as a great escape from the cold. The metropolis is surrounded by small towns, which are symbols of the area’s rich western history.
In addition to its rich culture and great historical significance, Tucson provides amazing desert views from just about anywhere, offering breathtaking hues in the evening as the sun sets.
Historical and Natural Sites
Sightseeing in Tucson is considered to be the leading attraction since the city is rich in historic buildings and wildlife. Being a city set in the desert, you may not come across much vegetation. However, the Arizona desert museum has come up with a solution as the museum is merged with a botanical garden, forming one spectacle where the green brings art to life. The Sonoran Desert is home to several endangered species, which add to the memorable desert experience. Some of these species include the Mexican wolf, Desert pupfish, razorback sucker and the ocelot.
History aficionados enjoy Tucson’s profound historic buildings. In the southwest region of the city lies the mission of San Xavier del Bac, which was built in the eighteenth century by Spanish Jesuits. The church is an opulently furnished building representative of Rococo architecture of the colonial period.
For all those who love taking long nature walks, biking, and horseback riding into the wild, Tucson mountain-park offers a vast 20,000 acres with scenic carefully isolated areas suitable for picnics, among other outdoor activities.
Movie City
In the 1940s the little town of “Old Tucson” was constructed near the city as a setting for many western movies. Old Tucson, which resembles the style of the late 19th century, offers a whole different perspective to sightseeing in Tucson since visitors have the opportunity to see life as it was back then.
