Discover Phoenix - City break between desert, nature and lifestyle

Phoenix is a city that immediately impresses with its contrasts. Wide boulevards, modern rooftop bars and stylish neighbourhoods here flow effortlessly into vast desert landscapes with cacti, red rock formations and endless vistas. Thanks to its sunny climate, daily life largely takes place outdoors, making terraces, hiking trails and open-air venues a natural part of the city's atmosphere. Phoenix feels simultaneously lively and relaxed, with a rhythm perfectly suited to the warm Arizona sunshine.

Moreover, Arizona's capital offers much more than just impressive nature. In neighbourhoods such as Roosevelt Row, you will discover galleries, colourful street art and a creative scene that gives the city a contemporary character. Foodies will find a surprising array of local restaurants, trendy cocktail bars and typical flavours of the American Southwest. At the same time, Phoenix is the ideal base for day trips to spectacular nature reserves, western towns and iconic landscapes that make Arizona's setting so special.

Where the skyline ends,
the desert begins.

Phoenix effortlessly combines energetic city life with the rugged beauty of the Sonoran Desert. Between modern neighbourhoods, wide boulevards and rooftop bars, giant saguaro cacti and red-coloured mountain flanks pop up that make Arizona's landscape so recognisable. Especially at sunrise and sunset, the surroundings take on a warm glow that gives the city an almost cinematic feel. For outdoor enthusiasts, Phoenix is therefore an ideal destination, with iconic hikes such as Camelback Mountain, panoramic views of Phoenix and Scottsdale and the impressive flora of the Desert Botanical Garden. Even outside the city, the scenery remains spectacular, especially along the Apache Trail where desolate desert plains, historic western towns and clear blue lakes alternate.

At the same time, Phoenix has a surprisingly creative and stylish side. Roosevelt Row has a lively atmosphere among street art, galleries, designer shops and local restaurants, while rooftop terraces and cocktail bars give the city a modern feel. The culinary scene combines Mexican influences with flavours from the American Southwest, from a typical Sonoran dog to a prickly pear margarita made from cactus fruits. Scottsdale also reinforces that laid-back Arizona lifestyle with luxury resorts, wellness hotels and sophisticated gastronomy under the warm desert sun. Those who want to dive even deeper into the atmosphere of the southwest can spend the night on an authentic ranch or trek through the desert on horseback at sunrise or under a clear starry sky.
