Phoenix at a Glance
With a population of over one million, Phoenix is the largest city in Arizona
and the state capital. Situated in the midst of a desert full of saguaro and prickly
pear cactus, Phoenix is also a popular tourist destination, particularly as a
winter getaway for visitors from Canada
and the northern United States. Golf
is one of the more popular activities in Phoenix and can be played year round
at one of the hundreds of local courses. Added attractions include the Arizona
State Capitol Museum and the Deer
Valley Rock Art Center, two integral parts of any Phoenix visit. The Celebrity
Theatre, conveniently located in the downtown area, is a popular venue for
concerts and other events. In addition to these attractions, Phoenix boasts a
selection of fine dining restaurants and nightclubs to keep visitors well-fed
and entertained, as well as a variety of lodgings to accommodate them.
