The best time to visit Arizona

Arizona is in the south the USA, and vast swathes of the state is covered in desert, meaning that much of it, particularly areas around Phoenix, get extremely hot during the summer. Northern parts of Arizona, including the mighty Grand Canyon, can see significent snowfall during the winter, so if you want comfortable and mild weather with sunshine and low crowd levels, then spring or fall is the best time to visit Arizona.

Food in Arizona

Arizona's food scene is a bit of a melting pot, taking inspiration from calssic American and Mexican cuisines. Mexican dishes with an American twist can be found in the form of burritos, cheese crisps (tortillas which are folded over, covered in cheese, and baked), chimichangas (apparently an Arizona invention), and tamales hold up the Mexican end of the deal, while Sonoran hotdogs, shaved ice, and fry bread are popular American snacks.

Flights to Arizona

The main airport in Arizona is Phoenix Sky Harbor, and it is very likely that this is the place hat you will arrive at when you fly into Phoenix. Direct flights to Arizona are available from across the USA and from Europe.

Driving in Arizona

There's no better way to enjoy the breathtaking landscpes of Arizona than by taking a roadtrip through the state. Arizona's roads are well-maintained, with speedy interstate highways and scenic state roads. There are a few state road laws to brush up on (it's illegal to drive with any alcohol in your system, and smoking with kids in the car is prohibited), and driving through Phoenix is best avoided if you can help it, but once you get out on the open road amongst the desert plains, there are few better places to drive.

Trains in Arizona

Trains are not the best way to get around Arizona - if you're traveling to the state from California there are a few Amtrak services that stop at some of the main towns and cities, but once you're there, the services are neither numerous nor cost-effective.

With that being said, if you want to ride the rails purely for pleasure rather than for getting from a to b, then Arizona has a good number of fun scenic train rides that are fantastic for families and sightseers. You can experience the Grand Canyon by rail, as well as the beautiful Verde Canyon train, which offers themed rides as well as scenic trips through the Arizona desert.

Buses in Arizona

Buses aren't bad in Arizona, with plenty of shuttles and routes within major cities that connect major tourist sites. Traveling between destinations is also possible by Flixbus of Greyhound, although this will naturally take a lot longer then driving.
