Transportation is easy in Phoenix and its surrounding communities. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is located five minutes from downtown Phoenix and 20 to 30 minutes from most hotels and resorts. The nation’s newest light-rail system connects Phoenix to Tempe and Mesa, and stops at a station where you can catch a quick shuttle to the airport. Trollies offers tours of area attractions and is great option for getting around Scottsdale. And if you’re looking for quick Point A-to-Point B transportation in downtown Phoenix, flag down one of the plentiful pedicabs.
