Sunshine and Sonoran Desert. It means you can do things here you couldn't dream of doing anywhere else.

Our mountains are in the city, so you can hike the 50 miles of trails at South Mountain, chase the legend of the Lost Dutchman in the Superstitions, see the city from Piestawa Peak, or hike our famous natural landmark, Camelback Mountain, with a red-rock profile seen throughout the city.

You can also experience the great outdoors from shopping at Biltmore Fashion Park, Kierland Commons or the Waterfront, the boutiques in historic homes in downtown Phoenix, or the vintage home and garden shops on 7th Avenue.

Want a little “wild” with your West? Chase the legend of the Lost Dutchman in the Superstition Mountains, or take a guided tour of the world's lushest desert on a horse or in a hot-air balloon.

When the sun gives way to the stars, there are many areas for nightlife . Head to see-and-be-seen Scottsdale, hang with the college crowd on Mill Avenue or stroll a First Friday Art Walk in downtown Phoenix.

Festivals and events are almost always on tap in Greater Phoenix, so check our Calendar before planning your trip.

Rosevelt Row:

Phoenix, Scottsdale, and the surrounding areas are known for their shopping because of all the different options and because of the locations.

Discover new designers at local boutiques . Hunt for vintage treasures - for your home or for your closet - in the Melrose District, or cruise Central. Phoenix for gems like The Willows or The French Bee . Downtown Phoenix inspires your wardrobe with Bunky Boutique and Spoken.

If you're ready to hit the high-fashion scene, Scottsdale Fashion Square has recognizable shops and high-end stores like Barney's New York, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Jimmy Choo.

If you want to mix some sunshine with your splurging, stroll the garden-park grounds of Biltmore Fashion Park or the Main Street setting of Kierland Commons , or the European style of The Borgata . If you want to pause for an occasional laser-light show or dancing-fountain display, check out Westgate City Center.

Phoenix Convention Center:

The Phoenix Convention Center is fresh off a $600 million expansion that has transformed it into one of the largest facilities of its kind in the U.S. All told, the convention center boasts nearly 900,000 square feet of meeting and exhibit space. But size is only part of its story. Thoughtful touches include air-conditioned loading bays, exhibit halls with pre-scored floors, and outdoor meeting areas that capitalize on Phoenix's greatest natural resource — the sun.

The North Building

The four-level structure occupies a city block and boasts 635,000 square feet of meeting and exhibition space. It features a street-level ballroom, 11 exhibit halls, 56 meeting rooms and 20 climate-controlled loading docks.

Inside, thoughtful touches include exhibit halls with pre-scored floors for easy booth setup, an airy food court with five themed eateries, and outdoor meeting and pre-function areas that capitalize on Phoenix's greatest natural resource—the sun.

The North Building is linked to the neighboring West Building by both a glass-encased sky bridge and a substreet exhibition hall. It also showcases eight public-art installations and environmentally sensible features.

The West Building

The West Building houses 157,000 square feet of conference-style meeting and exhibit space. Its environs include a lecture hall, a grand ballroom and an adjoining performance center—all accentuated by a striking collection of public art.

A 90-foot-high glass atrium encases the West Building's lobby, which is ideal for large receptions. The lobby's huge glass door can be raised to create a dramatic, open-air environment.

Adjoining the lobby is the grand entrance to Symphony Hall, an elegant auditorium that seats 2,300. (Another spectacular performance space, Herberger Theater Center, is located directly across the street.)

The South Building

The South Building of the Phoenix Convention Center recently underwent an $18.5 million makeover in which no corner of the facility went untouched. Its exhibition halls, ballroom and meeting rooms have been adorned with new colors, carpet and lighting; every restroom has been remodeled; and WiFi coverage now extends to all public and rentable areas.

Over 33,000 square feet of space dedicated to this building, including 23 versatile meeting rooms and 28,000 square feet of ballroom space. The South Building also contributes to the total 143,000 square feet of exhibition space in the entire Convention Center.

Sports:

Few cities are as fan-friendly as ours. From the Fiesta Bowl to Cactus League Spring Training to NASCAR to the PGA Tour, the nation's fifth-largest city plays host to some of the biggest sporting events in the world. Phoenix also fields franchises in all four major professional sports leagues, so there's always a game happening.

Some of our sports venues are fun even when there's no game in town. You can take a guided tour of University of Phoenix Stadium (home of the NFL's Arizona Cardinals and site of Super Bowl XLII) to learn about the inner workings of its roll-out grass field and retractable roof.

If you're a baseball fan, spring is your time to catch 13 teams all in close proximity to each other. At spring training, you can get seats close to the game, enjoy the sun with open festival seating, and get your ball signed by your favorite player. Check out maps and addresses to the field of your team.
