With Arizona State University at its heart and the bright lights of metropolitan Phoenix all around, Tempe offers countless opportunities for adventure. Itβs a city with a rich and diverse culture. Wander streets decorated with local artwork at the Tempe Festival of the Arts, shop in the mile-long mall or discover the cityβs German connections at the annual Oktoberfest. On campus, experience the best of Broadway at ASU Gammage theater or cheer the football team on at the jaw-dropping Sun Devil Stadium. When you need a change of scenery, explore the winding trails of Papago Parkβs spectacular desert wilderness, or hike to the top of βAβ Mountain, a Native American heritage site in the heart of the city.
