Frequently Asked Questions
How far apart are Tucson and Phoenix?
Tucson is about 110 miles southeast of Phoenix, and it takes around one hour and forty-five minutes to drive between these cities.
What is the best time of year to go to Tucson?
November – March is Tucson’s high season. This is when everyone from up north “snowbirds” down south. The weather is dry and cool – perfect for exploring this desert city. But these months have the highest hotel prices and tourist numbers, so book your accommodation and tours in advance.
April – May and September – October are the shoulder seasons, and these are the best months to visit Tucson. The temperature will be in the 80s and 90s, and your days should be bright and sunny. Rain is possible, especially in the Fall, so bring a rain jacket. Hotel prices and tourist numbers will also be less than in the winter months.
June – August have temperatures in the triple digits. So you’ll need to hike early in the morning and explore the city early in the day or in the evening and at night. You can score some great hotel deals during these months, and you’ll want your accommodation to have a pool!
Is Tucson a walkable city?
The historic downtown Tucson is very walkable, but the rest of the city is spread out and requires a car or public transportation.
Is Tucson or Phoenix better to visit?
Tucson and Phoenix are both incredible destinations, and they will each give you very different experiences. So I highly recommend visiting both of these cities!
