Tucson Travel Guide
Arizona, United States
Tucson is a city of 543,242 people in southern Arizona, set in the Sonoran Desert. It is an inland city, so there are no notable beaches within 40 kilometres.
Most travellers arriving by air use Tucson International Airport (TUS). Avra Valley Airport (AVW) and Davis Monthan Air Force Base (DMA) also serve the city. Tucson’s desert setting means hot summers and generally milder winters, so plan outdoor time around the season.
