The addition in the name of International Airport probably has historical background. Today, Tucson International Airport offers connections to 14 cities in the US. Airlines are Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta, Southwest Airlines and United Airlines. There are no direct flights to Europe. Private pilots can also fly to Ryan Airfield in the west and to Marana Regional Airport in the northwest.

Pima Air & Space Museum.

• Pima Air and Space Museum. A very comprehensive collection of old and rare (mainly US) aircraft, with more than 200 aircraft on the open ground and in five hangars. From the Cessna, over several Super Constellation, the Super Guppy and some unique items to the giant bomber, everything is there, including several former presidential planes (e.g. DC-6 and B707). In the hangars there are always old veterans who have flown these old machines themselves and who like to give small tours and inform visitors about the planes and their lives. last amendment: no

• Boneyard/AMARG Tour. On weekdays, tours to the Davis Monthan Air Force Base, the 309th Aerospace Maintenance And Regeneration Group (AMARG), with its hundreds of old aircraft are also possible. Nowhere else will you see so many old fighter planes, Boeing 707 fleets and other scrapped aircraft. This tour is therefore also called Boneyard Tour. These tours are not included in the entrance fee. A reservation is required. According to the current official obstruction, the visitor is only allowed to carry one camera without storage tanks and no containers not necessary for the tour. It should be clear to everyone that everything is being searched. At least one hour before the start of the tour, which has been booked and paid in advance, the visitor has to give his passport, otherwise his ticket will expire. The visit to the Pima Air and Space Museum is not a prerequisite for the tour. last amendment: no Type is group

Landscape around the Desert Museum.

• Arizona Sonora Desert Museum. In fact, this is not a museum, but a (new German) wildlife park. The sections of the museum are limited to the history of Arizona through the geology of the region. The main part of the museum is a desert garden and zoo, which brings the flora and fauna of the Sonora desert to the visitor. The focus is on the diverse flora of the Sonora and its dependencies on itself and the fauna. With a bit of luck, the visitor also sees the inhabitants of the desert, only those who are mostly looking for the shade during the day and are very difficult to discover. If you want to see and learn something about the Sonora desert, you should consider the minimum stay of three hours here in your travel plans. The park is very popular on weekends and holidays, but if it is neither weekend nor holiday, schoolchildren will have to write an essay on their experiences the next day. It doesn't matter. This park is a must for those who are only a bit interested in habitats. last amendment: no

• Trail Dust Town. A shopping street trimmed to the west, but all styles are mixed. The shopping area is located in the heart of the city. Wild West Stunt Shows, the Museum of the Horse Soldier and related gastronomy. If you go to the Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse, you should do it without a tie. Why? Look at the ceiling. last amendment: no

• Rialto Theater. Historical light games house, built in 1919. After a long and varied history, in which it served as a warehouse and porn cinema among other things, the Rialto Theater is now a stage for concerts and theater after a major renovation since 1995. last amendment: no

• Sabino Canyon Recreation Area. The Sabino Canyon is one of the most unique canyons of the Sonora desert. From the Visitor Center, a diesel tram runs up the canyon every half hour and the visitor can get off at nine stations. During the journey, the driver explains the characteristics of the valley. Anyone can leave the shuttle at any stop and get back at another stop. The Phoneline Trail is a good way to walk away from the Asphalt road. The visitor leaves the tram at stop 9 and hikes up hill on serpentines first. After that, the path is almost flat (family-friendly) about 150 m above the bottom of the valley and the asphalt road of the Sabino Creek. There are always great views of the Tucson Plain and the canyon. After two hours, the hiker will reach stop 1 of the tram and take the last mile to the Visitor Center. Price: Parking: USD 5.00 (Annual Pass Owner Free), Tram: USD 8.00. last amendment: no
