Downtown Phoenix

Culture, commerce and college life coalesce in the epicenter of Phoenix. This is where you’ll find indie restaurants, live music, pro sports, craft brews and cocktail culture. Historic neighborhoods like Roosevelt Row and Grand Avenue share an urban footprint with modern marvels like CityScape and the Phoenix Convention Center. No car is required here, thanks to Valley Metro Rail. 

Things to Do in Downtown Phoenix

When the business day ends, the fun begins in downtown Phoenix.

This is where you’ll find sports arenas, live music, rooftop lounges, museums, theaters, art galleries and more than 200 restaurants. Downtown is also home to the Phoenix Convention Center and Arizona State University’s downtown campus. And it’s all served by one of the newest light rail systems in the nation.

Pro sports are almost always afoot at Footprint Center (home of the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury), or Chase Field (home of the Arizona Diamondbacks), and Roosevelt Row is the place to go for coffee shops, craft beers and First Friday Art Walks.

To learn more about getting around DTPHX, reach out to a DTPHX Ambassador. They are on duty seven days a week, 365 days a year to help you — whether that means walking you to your car, handing out free water and sunscreen, or simply offering directions or recommendations. Ambassadors are on-foot or bike in areas of high pedestrian activity. Look for the folks wearing orange shirts with “ASK ME” on the back.
