Phoenix & Central Arizona

Bustling Metropolis to Wild West

If you’re looking for a cosmopolitan center where warm sunshine and cool culture collide, Central Arizona is your playground. With the Phoenix area at its heart – including cities from Chandler, in the southeast, to Peoria, in the northwest – Central Arizona is a haven of relaxing resorts and award-winning golf, restaurants, shopping and nightlife.

But Central Arizona has more to offer than the big city – like hiking trails and casinos near Fountain Hills and Fort McDowell, arboretums and botanical gardens and even dude ranches. Learn more about Central Arizona’s top destinations below:
