Tempe Beach Park and Tempe Town Lake are two of the key attractions that bring pro travelers to a city named as a salute to Vale of Tempe in Thessaly, Greece. While the Greek counterpart is Apollo’s favorite place to be with his Muses, Arizona’s Tempe is the haunt of students of Arizona State University. Music fans would recognize alternative bands like The Refreshments and Gin Blossoms as part of the Tempe scene. For most visitors, a Tempe itinerary would mostly include hiking, rock climbing, and various outdoor recreational activities and water sports in the lake area. This place also has various places to eat delicious foods, such as Indian restaurants. Planning a trip to Tempe later this year should always include booking a stay.

9. Downtown private apartment for four
What is an onsite theater, you may ask? Your host would say it is one of the many amenities you will find in a downtown Tempe listing that you can book right now. If you are partial to walking, then this space is ideal. Restaurants and downtown landmarks are a stone’s throw away. The building has a business center should you need to facilitate work-related transactions. For guests who are strictly on holiday in Tempe, then make sure to try out the heated pool and make the most of the kitchen facilities.

10. Fully furnished modern apartment for two
While the king-sized bed is undoubtedly the centerpiece of this apartment, your eyes would also be drawn to the smart-screen television and work desk. The modern appliances and stocked kitchen would make you think twice about going out, but if you want to see Tempe’s top tourist sites, then you can choose to wake up late and make brunch. Your host is thoughtful enough to provide you with a coffee maker, a teapot, a toaster, and even an electric air popcorn maker. Take all the time you need. All the locations on your to-visit list are quite nearby.

12. Quiet place five minutes from everything
A private studio awaits a single traveler or a couple with a massive love for the outdoors. The efficiency apartment is attached to the main house, but there is a private entrance. If you want to say hello to your host and their amiable pet named Noodle, then you’d have to catch them on their morning walk. From your private quarters, you don’t need to spend too much time getting to Tempe’s lake, mountain trails, and even the airport. Your lovely studio is five minutes from everything!
