Tucson has always attracted free spirits, free thinkers, and those free at heart. Maybe because its natural landscape in the Arizona Sonoran Desert allows for plenty of room to roam; you can explore its inviting environs without boundaries. The city is surrounded by multiple mountain ranges, including the Santa Catalina Mountains. It is truly awe \u2013 and art \u2014 inspiring. As author Barbara Kingsolver wrote,<\/p>\n

\u201cTucson had opened my eyes to the world and given me\u2026 a taste for the sensory extravagance of red-hot chilies and five-alarm sunsets.\u201d<\/p>\n

The meticulously-restored mansions of its El Presidio Historic District and the adobe row houses of Barrio Historico reflect its 19th-century roots. Tucson has many vintage shops, restaurants and nightspots on Fourth Avenue near the bustling University of Arizona campus. Its extensive arts and culture scene lends to its authentic, unique personality.<\/p>\n

Flying into the Tucson Airport<\/h3>\n
\n

Tucson International Airport<\/a> (TUS) serves more than three million airline passengers per year. Seven airlines offer about 60 departures per day to 20 nonstop destination airports. TUS is conveniently located less than 10 miles south of downtown Tucson and the University of Arizona, close to major business and leisure destinations.<\/p>\n

The airport is open 24\/7, but the airlines, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), food and beverage outlets, retail stores, rental car companies and others all set their own hours. Airlines typically open their check-in counters 2 \u2013 2\u00bd hours before their first scheduled departure and close after their final departure of the day. The TSA security checkpoints usually open by 4 a.m. and close with the last departure of the day.<\/p>\n
