Nice variety of plants that didn't take too long to get through, with interesting historical connections to the family that originally owned it, and a small but excellent restaurant.

Whether for the views, the historic feel of the place (there's a great little shop off the library), to meet for drinks and appetizers or for a full meal complemented by gorgeous views, Hacienda del Sol is a lovely place to spend time. Go have a look around; stay for something good to eat!

Lots of small shops and restaurants, often pop-up shops and markets, and across from Tucson's container village – another great way to spend an afternoon.

Art Gallery
A wonderful bit of Tucson history. Multiple buildings covered in murals and the work of this very talented artist. In the spirit of giving back, hosts the work of up-and-coming artists in the Little Gallery as well. And the chapel has now been lovingly rebuilt after a recent fire.

Hiking
One of my two favorite hiking areas, with many trails both paved and unpaved, and trails of all lengths, plus a lovely guided walk loop with information on various desert plants, including a fabulous crested sahuaro cactus.
A beautiful park with numerous trails of all lengths for all levels of hikers.

Neighbourhoods
With a tram running through it, lots of local color both from the university and the vibrant hippie community here in Tucson, 4th Avenue – whether during the twice-annual street fair or not – is just a fun place to spend the afternoon.

Food scene
It's Frank's in the mornings for great diner breakfasts; Francisco's in the afternoon for Mexican food, and good whenever you eat there. A fun local favorite.
