Tucson is a city set in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona. The city is surrounded by several mountain ranges, such as the Santa Catalinas. You’ll find a strong historical heritage here with a number of restored historic mansions in the El Presidio and Barrio Historic Districts. The University of Arizona is based here, and the area around campus has many unique shops, a variety of nightclubs, and quality restaurants. Saguaro National Park is easily accessible and offers stunning desert vistas with saguaro cacti and interesting ancient petroglyphs. Winter is somewhat busy in Tucson, with mild temperatures compared to much of the year and the ever-popular Gem and Mineral Show, which happens each February. Map Tucson
