From the Back Cover

For more than twenty years, the Insiders’ Guide® series has been the essential source for in-depth travel and relocation information - from true insiders whose personal, practical perspective gives you everything you need to know.

From its upscale resorts, restaurants, and nightclubs to its major-league sports franchises, championship golf courses, and vibrant arts scene, Phoenix—America's fifth-largest city—serves as the economic and cultural center of the Valley of the Sun. Some say Phoenix is rising again. A brand-new thirty-one-story Sheraton opened in 2008, the convention center has undergone a $600 million expansion, and a twenty-mile light rail connecting Phoenix with Tempe and Mesa will be carrying its first passengers from late 2008. This authoritative guide will show you how to navigate the area’s urban villages, charming shops, and breathtaking desert landscapes.

 

Inside you'll find:

• Countless details on how to live and thrive in the area, from the best shopping to the lowdown on real

   estate
• Comprehensive listings of accommodations, activities, and places to eat—and a new feature on the

   area's top chefs
• The inside scoop on popular attractions such as the Challenger Space Center, the Desert Botanical

  Garden, the Heard Museum, and the Goldfield Ghost Town
• Sections dedicated to children, retirement, and more

This review is from: Insiders' Guide to Phoenix, 6th (Insiders' Guide Series) (Paperback)

I'm a sports guy from New England, and when I visit Phoenix what I really like about the "Insider's Guide to Phoenix" is the great information about the area golf courses and tennis clubs, plus the exciting, fast-breaking Phoenix Suns. I also love Italian and French restaurants which Phoenix has plenty of. Whatever your eating pleasure, you can't beat the guide's comprehensive listing of restaurants as well as hotels and motels. I'm not the tourist type, but if you are, you can find lots of interesting and inexpensive attractions for you and your family to visit, such as the Challenger Space Center, the Hall of Flame and the Arizona Science Center.
