One of the largest cities in the Greater Phoenix metropolitan 

area, Glendale is less than a half-hour’s drive from Phoenix 

Sky Harbor International Airport. Making Glendale your 

home base during your stay provides an abundance of 

accessible activities locally along with easy freeway access to 

Valley attractions like Discover Salt River or, infamous Arizona 

attractions such as Sedona & the Verde Valley - an hour north 

of Glendale, or the Grand Canyon National Park – a quick 

3-hour drive from Glendale. 

If you prefer not to drive, you can rely on rideshares, book 

rides through services like Copper Star Professional 

Transportation or use the Valley Metro bus system. Glendale 

also operates the free Glendale Urban Shuttle, better 

known as GUS. Its three routes make stops in the Downtown 

Glendale area Monday through Friday. Or, hop on the 

Westgate Circulator, a free shuttle to get you around the 

Sports & Entertainment District. westgateaz.com/twc 

Get your steps in! Many areas in Glendale are walkable, 

including Downtown Glendale and the Sports & 

Entertainment District.
