WELCOME TO TUCSON!
If you’ve come here for sun, we’ve got it! With our mild winters, Tucson and Southern Arizona have become havens for those tired of long, cold winters. Plus, we boast more than 350 days of sunshine each year.
For years visitors have also flocked to the Old Pueblo for its fun, friendly atmosphere, and today more than ever, the city delivers on the promise of world-class shopping, dining, and spas, as well as casinos, golf, galleries, museums, and an amazing array of other indoor and outdoor activities your entire family can enjoy. The majestic surrounding mountains provide an abundance of nature trails and activities, while nearby Phoenix, Sedona, and Mexico offer plenty to explore beyond Tucson’s boundaries.
We understand you’re eager to get out to explore the city, so we’ve created the Newcomers Guide to make it easy for you. Within these pages you’ll find everything you need to get settled, including important information and phone numbers for utility hookups, local movie theaters, hospitals, and school districts, plus gardening resources and more. We encourage you to use this handy reference guide as you learn more about your new city—one that prides itself on strong community involvement and environmental protection.
Bienvenidos!
