People come here for excursions in the desert surroundings, for the reserves dedicated to Indian culture, for the numerous museums and archaeological parks.
When it comes to tourism in a metropolis built just over a hundred years ago, many visitors are not quite sure what to do there. After all, these are not the ancient cities of Europe or, for example, the Pacific islands with a distinctive culture.
And, of course, completely in vain. There is nothing wrong with original culture in Phoenix. And the flora and fauna of the Sonora Desert require a separate study of those who are interested in nature. In the Botanical Garden of Phoenix you can learn how the plants of the desert helped its inhabitants to survive.

Neoclassic, a miniature copy of the Statue of Liberty and stylish appearance make it one of the architectural dominants of the city.
Phoenix
A deserted nest of civilization
The hot Sonora Desert, with tall slender cacti poking up along the roads. Yellow-gray rocks, weathered by centuries, and old Indian tunes. How does a huge, slender city full of skyscrapers fit in here? I don't know. But this is it, Phoenix rising from the ashes, modern and full of old secrets.
