BEST OF PHOENIX 2018

Let us paint you a picture.

It’s an image of a young city in the desert, a vivid, exciting place full of color and energy.

We’ve got plenty of asphalt gray and sand beige on the canvas, to be sure. But they don’t compare to rainbow sunsets or bright desert wildflowers, glittering aquamarine swimming pools or vibrant murals.

For 40 years, Best of Phoenix has been a part of the palette that shades and highlights the city. And this time around, we’ve got more than 360 things we love about the Valley of the Sun that we can’t wait to share with you, as well as up-close-and-personal looks at the favorite places of some of the city’s well-known personalities. And it’s all brought to life by local artists, each with a unique vision of the place we call home.

Welcome to Illustrated Phoenix.
