15 Best Things To Do in Tucson, Arizona

Second, only to Phoenix, Tucson is one of the largest cities in Arizona. Although the city is mainly characterized by desert terrain, you can expect to find everything from leafy gardens and desert flora to stunning architecture and Mexican cuisine since the city is close to the border.

The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is the major attraction in the city. It’s a 98-acre land, comprising a zoo, natural history museum, aquarium, and a botanical garden. Basically, if you want to experience the whole vibe of Tucson, spend a day here, and you’ll get a whiff of everything the city has to offer.

No mention of Tucson can be complete without the honorary mention of Saguaro National Park, which has several hiking trails, treks, and, more importantly, cacti.
