Tucson: Arrival and information
Tucson International Airport , eight miles south of downtown, receives far fewer long-distance flights than Phoenix. It's connected to the city by the slow Sun Tran bus #11 or #6 ($1), and the $15 Arizona Stagecoach shuttles (tel 520/889-1000). For taxi service, call Allstate Cabs (tel 520/798-1111). The Amtrak station, downtown at 400 E Toole Ave, is served by three trains weekly in each direction (east-west), with connecting buses running north to Phoenix. Greyhound buses also stop very centrally, at 2 S Fourth Ave.Tucson's downtown visitor center , 110 S Church Ave (Mon-Fri 8am-5pm, Sat & Sun 9am-4pm; tel 520/624-1817 or 1-800/638-8350), has free maps and information. North of the university, Tucson Map & Flag Center, 3239 N First Ave (tel 520/887-4234), stocks Arizona's best selection of maps and local guides. Great Western Tours (tel 520/572-1660) offer three-hour city tours for $35, and an extensive program of trips further afield.
