Phoenix, Arizona – Vacation Packages

Phoenix, the capital of Arizona, also is its business, cultural, educational, medical, and industrial center. Big, busy, laced with high-speed motorways, and frequently congested, Phoenix is ‘where it happens’ in The Grand Canyon State.

The antithesis of laid-back Tucson, the Phoenix metropolitan area, which includes Mesa, Tempe, Scottsdale, and Glendale, contains no less than half of the state’s total population. Phoenix itself is one of the country’s 10 largest cities. It’s a great place for those into the outdoors – especially the outdoors condusive to the desert, like biking, trekking and golfing.

But, setting aside the hustle and bustle that is common to all large cities, Phoenix offers the visitor every conceivable amenity. Golf courses abound. Tennis is a statewide obsession. The area literally teems with beautifully landscaped resorts and upscale shopping centers. And, of course, there’s the magnificent weather. Long one of the nation’s foremost winter retreats, Phoenix offers pleasurable recreational opportunities throughout every season of the year. There’s exquisite southwest fare to dine on and an active nightlife as well.
