Tucson: Downtown Mural Walking Tour to the Three Cowboys｜United States

Explore the eclectic street art of downtown Tucson on a walking tour. Local guides will take you on a colorful walking adventure where you’ll discover the powerful, vibrant murals that grace the city’s historic walls.

Meet your guide outside of the Southern Arizona Transportation Museum, located in the south part of the Amtrak Train Depot. Walk the city’s pleasant sidewalks with a knowledgeable guide and discover colorful, eclectic and bold paintings–some in unusual places.

Starting at the “Arrival of the Railroad” mural and proceeding to the Rialto Theatre’s alley, history and art become intertwined. Be amazed by the “Empowered Woman” and smile at the 60s-ish HUB mural. The Mexican-Latin influence is everywhere, especially with “La Guitarrista” and “Vergriss.”

See one mural celebrating “El Tour de Tucson” and another honoring PETA. “That’s a Wrap”—Tucson’s move to beautify downtown utility boxes—is evident as are brilliantly colored store-commissioned murals. Mosey through the iconic “Rock the Spot” parking lot and say hello to Linda.

The grand finale is grand indeed–the Three Cowboys, who look out from the Court building and pay homage to Tucson rodeo culture.
