8 days in Phoenix Itinerary

Phoenix is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Arizona. Venture out of the city with trips to Scottsdale (Scottsdale Quarter, McDowell Sonoran Preserve, &more), Tucson (Valley of the Moon, Pima Air and Space Museum, &more) and Shamrock Farms (in Stanfield). There's still lots to do: see the interesting displays at Musical Instrument Museum, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Mesa Temple & Visitors' Center, enjoy unforgettable views with a balloon tour, and admire the natural beauty at Desert Botanical Garden.
