Overview

Take a trip to Phoenix on your United States Vacation

Arizona is a place of inspiration, and in its capital, Phoenix, that inspiration comes to life through top art galleries, unique museums, gardens, and desert adventures. If you're a golf enthusiast, there's no better place in the United States for a round. Whether you use Phoenix as a gateway to explore the desert or for a city break, it has much to offer.

Explore Arizona's ecosystem at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, where you can follow five different trails. Take a trail in Papago Park to reach the Hole in the Rock, offering excellent views of the city. Don't forget to visit the Phoenix Zoo, a massive non-profit zoo with numerous walking trails and a wide variety of species. If you seek a challenge, consider hiking the Echo Canyon Trail on Camelback Mountain.

While Sedona is known for art galleries, Phoenix has a remarkable art scene. Start at the Phoenix Art Museum, which houses over 18,000 works from around the world in a modern building. For a more specialized experience, visit the Heard Museum, dedicated to Native American art.

Phoenix is home to unique niche museums, like the Musical Instrument Museum, with a collection of over 6,000 instruments, including John Lennon's 'Imagine' piano. The Hall of Flame Museum of Firefighting is an intriguing look at the history of firefighting in one of North America's hottest and driest regions.

Architecture enthusiasts will appreciate Phoenix's memorable homes, including the hand-built Mystery Castle and Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West.

While exploring Phoenix's outdoor attractions is enjoyable, it's good to have indoor options for the hottest days. Remember to stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, and use a hat, even in the cooler months. Be prepared and make the most of your time in this sunny city.
