    4th Avenue is part of the historic Pie Allen Neighborhood which is listed as a National Historic District. 4th Avenue has a number of interesting shops, bars, and restaurants to tempt you, or you can just enjoy walking down the street watching the people. On weekends and during special events a restored antique trolley runs on the Old Pueblo Trolley Line along 4th Avenue. As you walk down the road you may see people wearing gold polo shirts with a 4th Avenue logo on them. These are the 4th Avenue Ambassadors and are there to answer any question you may have and advise you on how to best enjoy your visit.

  • Directions: 4th Avenue is 1 mile from I-10 using the Speedway or Congress Exits. On 4th Avenue between University and 9th Street.

    Slightly disappointing compared to historic districts in other cities. This is primarily a residental neighborhood with a mixture of different period architectures.

    Tucson downtown is the cultural and historic heart of the city. There are many places to visit there - click here. Hmm... I was definitely too short there.
    I was walking around the Tucson downtown. Skyline was not very spectacular (in comparison to San Diego I visited before) but quite interesting, I could say. Especially just before sunset.
