Getting Around

If you're staying downtown, the light rail and a good pair of walking shoes can handle your transportation needs. If you want to venture further, however, the best way to conquer this sprawling city is with your own set of wheels. Of course, taxis and rideshare services are also available.

Best time to Visit

If you want to make the most of Phoenix, the only time of year to travel is November through March. Temperatures from winter into early spring hover in the fairly comfortable 70s°F, meaning you can take full advantage of all the outdoor fun on offer. By April, things will be starting to get seriously hot, with temperatures of 106°F being fairly common. That kind of heat is not for the faint of heart.

What to Pack

Phoenix can really dry you out, so protect against that blistering heat by packing lip balm and lots of sunscreen. Oh, and a refillable water bottle-you'll definitely need it. You should also bring:

  • Moisturizer: Repeated moisturizer application is just one Phoenix hydration ritual. But putting this stuff on has never felt as good as it does here. Ah, precious moisture.
  • A hat: Keep that face of yours fresh by staving off those dangerous rays with a hat with a peak or a wide brim.
  • A good camera: If you're going to the Grand Canyon, or exploring any of the other stunning landscapes around Phoenix, a phone camera just won't cut it.
