More About Phoenix & Scottsdale

Overview

Known as the Valley of the Sun, the city of Phoenix and the community of Scottsdale offer a warm embrace to guests seeking refuge from the cold. Averaging just 36 days of rain per year to the region, it's no surprise that Phoenix is a top winter season getaway. Adding to the appeal is the collection of high-end resorts and spas, numerous golf courses, award-winning restaurants, and outdoor recreation opportunities.

For baseball fans, Phoenix is an ideal retreat during February and March. Each year, the Cactus League welcomes 15 professional MLB teams and their supporters to the region to compete during Spring Training.

The outdoor enthusiast will delight in the 50+ miles of hiking trails on the South Mountain Park and Preserve, the largest park in the region. For an extended day adventure, consider exploring Apache Junction, Sedona, Tortilla Flats, or the Grand Canyon all within 3.5 hours of the Phoenix/Scottsdale area.

Before You Go

It is important to arrive at the airport at least 90 minutes prior to departure for all domestic flights, and two to three hours prior to departure for international flights.

Required Documents: Passports are required for international travel. You will not be permitted to depart without necessary documentation. There may be additional requirements for international travel, such as vaccinations or visas, and some countries require that passports be valid for six months or longer beyond your stay in the country.

General Safety Tips: By taking a few simple security precautions before and during your vacation, you can help ensure that you, your traveling companions, and your valuables are as safe and secure as possible.
  • To make it easier to replace your passport if it’s lost or stolen, in addition to your passport, take a photocopy of your passport information page (keeping it separate from your actual passport).
  • Carry only a limited amount of cash, just enough for gratuities and incidental purchases. Major credit cards are widely accepted and can be replaced if lost or stolen.
  • Always lock your hotel room door (including patio and balcony door on any level of the building) and use the peephole before opening the door.
  • Store your valuables (such as cash, credit cards and airline tickets) in the hotel’s in-room safe or front desk safety deposit box.
  • If you must carry valuables on your person, do so in a pouch or money belt concealed under your clothing. Purses and backpacks can be easy targets for thieves.
  • For complete and current safety and security information, including travelers' tips, public announcements, travel advisories and more, please visit the Government of Canada official Web site at http://travel.gc.ca.
