The city is peppered with historic landmarks, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert, and fueled by the energy of a dynamic university town. There might not be a specific bar district, but Tucson has an exciting nightlife scene scattered throughout the city, including spots downtown and on 4th Avenue.
