Bisbee's hilly terrain, and thousands of stairs and steps around the town, make it seem like San Francisco to some. It's narrow and windy roads give others the impression of a European town.
Old Bisbee has interesting architecture (Victorian/Art Deco/Western), and friendly people. The hotels, inns, B&B's, homes, schools and churches in Bisbee all have unique architecture. The way it blends together makes Bisbee like no other place in Arizona. There are restaurants, shops and art galleries.
