Bisbee is a charming, artistic old copper mining mountain town located in southern Arizona near the Mexico border. The climate is enjoyable year-round, as the elevation is 5,500 feet.
You can park anywhere downtown and walk to cute local art shops, coffee shops, antique shops, museums, a mine tour (where you can ride on a mine train!), and view an old open-pit mine. Book an short term rental, stop by the local Old Bisbee Brewing Company or Bisbee Coffee Shop, and enjoy supporting local artists and shopping.
Thirty minutes away is the famous town of Tombstone, AZ, where western shootouts occurred in the 1800’s, and old western films were made. Almost every month the town has different events making it a fun place to enjoy festivities!
