A growing metro area of 1,000,000 residents, Tucson is a very exciting place to live or visit. The geography of the area provides an image of cactus forests, hills and mountain terrain.  The culture of Tucson was strongly influenced by its position on the border between United States and Mexico, its history of Spanish explorers, native American inhabitants, and the European and American Frontiersmen that settled it. 

One of Tucson's most valuable attractions is its climate, which is satisfactory year around, providing clear blue skies and moderate temperatures.

If you visit in September, try attending the Great Tucson Beer Festival, which features over 200 beers from 50 different brewers, good live music, and great fun for all.
