Bus to Phoenix and Tempe: Roll Into the Valley of the Sun

The bus to Phoenix and Tempe drops you in the Valley of the Sun, where the Sonoran Desert meets a metro that runs from downtown Phoenix east to Tempe and ASU and northwest into Glendale.

Where Greyhound stops in Phoenix and Tempe

Greyhound stops in the Phoenix and Tempe area include Tempe (University Dr/Rural Rd), Phoenix Glendale (59th Ave / W. Hayward), and the Phoenix Glendale Bus Stop on W Glendale Ave. Pick the one closest to where you're staying. Valley Metro runs the buses and the light rail as one fare system - pay with the Valley Metro app, a paper ticket from a vending machine, or a reloadable Platinum Pass.

Tempe (University Dr/Rural Rd) on the northeastern edge of the ASU campus is right across from the University Drive/Rural Road station on the Valley Metro Rail A Line, with direct rides into downtown Phoenix and east to Mesa. Valley Metro local buses (routes 30 and 65) run through Tempe from here. Show up 15 minutes before departure and you're set.

Phoenix Glendale (59th Ave / W. Hayward) in west Phoenix near the Glendale border is served by Valley Metro local buses along 59th Avenue. Light rail isn't directly adjacent, so most riders transfer via the 59 or 27 buses to reach the A Line.

Phoenix Glendale Bus Stop on the north Glendale Avenue corridor in west Phoenix sits roughly a 25-minute walk (or a short Valley Metro 27 bus hop) from the Glendale/19th Ave A Line light rail station.

Free Wi-Fi onboard. Power outlets at every seat. Reclining seats with extra legroom. Restroom on board. Your seat is sorted when you book, so there's no scramble at the curb. Want to pick a specific seat? Reserved seat selection is a paid add-on at booking. Pack a snack, charge your laptop, and let someone else handle the road.

Best time to visit Phoenix and Tempe

Phoenix has a hot desert climate and racks up some of the most sunshine of any major city in the country. The best months to visit are November through April, when daytime highs sit in the 60s to 80s and evenings cool off nicely. Winter is mild and dry and it's peak tourist season - this is when snowbirds, spring-training fans and ASU game-weekenders fill the Valley.

Summer (June through September) regularly tops 110 degrees, and July and August also bring monsoon storms and the occasional haboob (a wall of dust). It's not as bad as it sounds if you plan around it - hike before sunrise, swim midday, eat dinner late. Spring (March-April) is wildflower and spring-training season at the same time, which is one of the best windows of the year if you can deal with festival-week crowds.

Top things to do in Phoenix and Tempe

  • Desert Botanical Garden in Papago Park between Phoenix and Tempe, with a deep collection of cacti and Sonoran Desert plants and a stretch of evening Las Noches de las Luminarias programming through December.
  • Heard Museum in central Phoenix, with a major collection of Native American art representing regional tribes from across the Southwest. The World Championship Hoop Dance Contest happens here every year.
  • Camelback Mountain between Phoenix and Scottsdale - the Echo Canyon and Cholla trails climb to the summit. Bring more water than you think you need and start early.
  • Tempe Town Lake and Mill Avenue in downtown Tempe, with paddleboarding on the lake and the bars, taco shops and music venues of ASU's college-town strip.
  • Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) in north Phoenix, with instruments from over 200 countries and audio-on-headset exhibits that play as you walk past each display.
  • Papago Park, with the Hole-in-the-Rock viewpoint, the Phoenix Zoo and the Desert Botanical Garden inside one easy loop.
  • Old Town Scottsdale, a short hop from central Phoenix, with the western-themed shopping district and the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art.
  • Taliesin West in northeast Scottsdale, Frank Lloyd Wright's desert laboratory and a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Neighborhoods to explore

Roosevelt Row (RoRo) in downtown Phoenix is the arts district, with murals, galleries and the long-running First Friday art walk. Arcadia in central-east Phoenix has old citrus groves, mid-century ranch houses and good restaurants tucked under Camelback Mountain. Mill Avenue / downtown Tempe is ASU's college-town strip, with bars, taco shops and music venues a short walk from Tempe Beach Park. Old Town Scottsdale brings a different vibe - western-themed boutiques, art galleries and the Scottsdale Civic Center.

Eat like a local in Phoenix and Tempe

The Sonoran hot dog is the regional thing to try - bacon-wrapped, served on a fluffy bolillo bun with pinto beans, tomatoes, onions, mayo, mustard and jalapeno salsa. You'll find them at food trucks across Phoenix and Tucson. For pizza, Pizzeria Bianco in downtown Phoenix is the anchor name, with the Rosa pie (Parmigiano-Reggiano, onion, rosemary and pistachios) as the signature. The chimichanga (deep-fried burrito) was reportedly invented in Arizona, with Macayo's Mexican Kitchen in Phoenix and El Charro Cafe in Tucson both staking the claim. For Mexican breakfast, El Bravo in Sunnyslope and Carolina's Mexican Food on the south side are local touchstones - chorizo and egg, machaca, and flour tortillas pressed by hand.

Major events in Phoenix and Tempe

  • Cactus League Spring Training brings 15 MLB teams across 10 stadiums in metro Phoenix from late February into late March each year - the biggest reason a lot of out-of-state visitors show up.
  • Tempe Festival of the Arts is a juried art festival on Mill Avenue, held twice a year - in spring (late March-early April) and in early December.
  • Innings Festival is a music festival at Tempe Beach Park in late February, programmed alongside spring training weekend.
  • Heard Museum Indian Fair & Market takes over the Heard Museum grounds on the first weekend in March each year.
  • Arizona State Fair runs from late September through October at the Arizona State Fairgrounds in Phoenix.

Local quirks worth a heads-up

Phoenix sees a handful of full-blown haboobs during monsoon season - walls of dust thousands of feet high that can blanket the city in minutes. The Sonoran Desert around Phoenix is one of the wettest deserts in North America, which is why the saguaro cactus, protected under Arizona's Native Plant Protection Act, thrives here and almost nowhere else. And Arizona doesn't observe daylight saving time outside the Navajo Nation, so check your meeting times in summer if you're calling east.
