New to Tucson? Visiting for a few days?
Want a taste for what life's like here in The Old Pueblo?
We share our favorite local eateries, shops, and night life spots as well as some can't miss Tucson specialties. We'll break things down by areas of town, and by category to make things a little easier, and then throw in some extra Tucson treats that either started here, or are local legends.
First thing's first!
Tucson was built on the territories of the Tohono O'odham Nation and the Pascua Yaqui Tribe. We love our city and want to acknowledge that we weren't the first folks to call it home. While you're here feel free to learn a little about the history of this land.
