Visitors Welcome

This is the Tucson Visitors Center located in the colorful La Placita Village, within walking distance of the Tucson Convention Center and most of the historic downtown area.

The new Sept/Oct issue of AARP Magazine, has chosen Tucson as the # 1 place to live in the US ...

"Latin culture embraces Native American spirit".

"Natural beauty"

"Frontier roots"

Tucson was officially founded in 1775 and has grown from a dusty frontier town into a metropolis of nearly one million. The Tucson Visitors Center is an excellent resource for anyone looking for information about this unique Arizona city.
