Welcome to Tucson, the second largest city in Arizona! Tucson has a desert climate and rarely gets rain. Warm conditions make Tucson ideal for outdoor activities all year round. Tucson has a lot to offer to an art enthusiast such as several world class museums and art galleries. Home to the University of Arizona, Tucson is anything but short on nightlife and entertainment options. Hungry? Visit one or more of the Tucson Originals - local, independently owned restaurants that while specializing in different cuisines, strive to offer dishes that are original to the city of Tucson.
