Arizona's capital city offers plenty of attractions for visitors. Warm and sunny throughout the year, it's a great place to go to enjoy winter sun and get outdoors. The Desert Botanical Garden allows visitors to learn more about the flora and fauna of the area; the Arizona Science Center, Heard Museum and Phoenix Art Museum are just a few great options for culture vultures; meanwhile, nearby Camelback Mountain is great for hiking and enjoying the great outdoors. Arizona is also known for its luxurious spas and no visit to the city is complete without a trip to one.
