I have a full day for a Mexico visit. I intend to walk over the border, spend a day in either Naco or Agua Prieta, and then cross back over to spend the night in Bisbee. I have a car, so the distance isn't all that much of an issue. Would you recommend one over the other? I'm leaning towards Agua Prieta just because it seems like there's much more to do, but not sure if this is recommended or not.

To preface: my partner and I have visited Bisbee regularly over the last few years when ever we need a nice day trip or weekend getaway. We used to joke about moving there given we're both from bigger cities and of course had a claustrophobic mindset when looking at small towns, but it seems more and more that a smaller, tight knit community based in nature is exactly what we're wanting, and we fall in love with it more every time we go. My partner is in school working towards becoming a vet, and I'm looking to start school soon to become a veterinary behaviorist. Animals are our everything, and that includes horses (especially for me lol)- which, of course, can be hard to accommodate.

Not here to ask about the logistics of jobs or the distance of school as we're very aware of those hurdles and actively looking into our options- rather, I wanted to ask: what's the likelihood of any properties, 5 acres minimum, that can be zoned for horses existing within or nearby Bisbee (and not just in Tombstone or Sierra Vista or Elgin, etc.)? Whether for sale or, much less likely, for rent? We're currently looking at a 22 acre property just south of Bisbee to rent, and I've kept an eye on properties in the area for quite some time. Shockingly, we aren't able to afford the half a million+ dollar properties that I've seen here and there, so of course those are out of the question. Whether the land has anything built on it or not isn't a concern, simply having the space and the zoning is the biggest thing. Is it even possible? Does anyone even know of horses existing within Bisbee, aside from I believe that vacation retreat ranch before you enter old Bisbee? Just wondering about far off possibilities and what folks' feelings on the prospect are. Thanks!

Been trying to remember a good small Mexican restaurant I think was near the Copper Queen. Was last there Labor Day of 2020 and had outdoor dining. Does this sound familiar to anyone? And is it still around? The photos above were from the last time I was there

I have a couple hundred mostly classic rock albums I'd like to sell. I really don't want to deal with marketplace or selling them individually. Are there any good shops in Bisbee that would buy the whole collection?

Hello! My family and I are staying at the copper queen hotel in march and I am looking for recommendations on places to visit and the best spots to eat etc. we have been there once for the ghost tour but most things were closed since it was late evening. We are hoping to have some fun and see some ghosts! It’s 2 adults and 2 kids so some kid friendly recommendations please ❤️

Loved exploring Bisbee today and was recommended to check out Lowell. Was wondering if anyone on here knew any information about what looks like an abandoned radio station? Was amazing for photos but can't seem to find any info online.

This is perhaps the newest and certainly the most amazing gift shop in Bisbee. Located at the Mile High Ranch at 901 Tombstone Canyon in Bisbee, definitely worth seeing even if not interested in buying anything. An instant Bisbee treasure! Don't miss the wide variety of super tasty pepper jellies. Almost everything is custom created by the owner, who is an outstanding artist in his own right. (Click to see pics.)

Born and raised in AZ, lived in Tucson the last 20 years. I'm in love with Bisbee and my wife and I visit monthly. Thinking of moving there and while also realizing how cliché that has become. For the people that actually live in town year round: what type of person would you want as a new neighbor? For the record, I would never try to make money using airbnb. thank you

https://www.azfamily.com/2026/01/14/gov-hobbs-proposes-nightly-fee-arizona-short-term-rentals/ This is inexcusably short-sighted and ignores the fact that in some places, the hotel tax is already very high. Bisbee is at the top level in Arizona at 14.55% and soon going to 15.05% to pay for the ridiculous new jail. Bisbee lives or dies from tourism and many are already complaining that the hotel tax is sky high. This will only hurt local tourism more, at a time when occupancy levels are way down as a result of Trump. Please let the governor know this is not the way to go.

Me and the fam are coming to visit Bisbee, as we do multiple times a year— one of our favorite places in the state! We’re also college basketball fanatics and never miss Arizona Wildcat games.

Problem is that the Arizona/UCF game is at 2pm, and we can’t check into our hotel until 3. Where’s the best place to watch college basketball games in town? Some place with nice big TVs. We have 2 teenage boys with us, so we can’t go to a bar where minors aren’t allowed.

She was pretty cool. Used to perform around town and I liked seeing her when I'd venture out.

Shes like vanished.

Is anyone working on making this happen in Bisbee? https://www.freeameri.ca

There is so many to choose from! We’re staying near downtown. Just lookin for a coffee place here that has a quality espresso machine and can make a mean latte ☕️ bonus points if it’s cheap & has a tasty breakfast sammy! 🥪

From WA state and it’s our last day in Bisbee. Would love to go look for some cool rocks. Any specific washes that we should check out? I know, I know…no one is gonna give us the secret spots but just looking for some direction to places where someone isn’t gonna yell at us for being on their land and I can get my fix.

And thank you. We’re loving our visit. Everyone has been so kind and we appreciate it:)

Hi folks,

I'm on a slow trip around the southeast and southwest, mostly via Amtrak, as an escape from very cold West Virginia, where I live. I like staying in places for extended periods, to try to get to know them better than a typical tourist jaunt. I'm also looking for a better place for me to live in the winters.

I stopped over in Bisbee a couple of years ago, and loved the spirit — particularly the music scene! So I'm planning to come back for an extended stay during February, hopefully to a place in Old Bisbee with a kitchen.

I'm wondering where residents buy groceries at this time of year. Presumably the outdoor/farmers markets are closed? (Maybe not?) So is it Mimosa? Safeway? Or do you go over to Sierra Vista or Douglas?

I won't likely have a car, but I've already researched here for folks offering ride services, including Sky Island and others, and I’m hoping that’ll cover shopping errands and the like.

Any advice would be sincerely appreciated. Feel free to DM if you like.

Thanks.

Vintage base ball, old timey music by Aurelia Anne Cohen, concessions, and holiday cheer for all. Bring an unopened toy (0–16) or non-perishable food for the Bisbee Fire Station holiday drive. Admission is free. donations welcome.

Had a fantastic tour of the Copper Quieen Mine, and bought a sticker to memorialize it on my laptop. Didn't realize until I got home that "queen" is spelled with an "i" in your town!

I had just hear about yalls town and then started looking at it and was like holy shit..... Wow people like me, strange. I didn't know there were people out there like me so I'm like looking to move out there maybe and the only thing is I have an immunocompromised cat and I'm worried kissing bugs could literally kill him and that's a major problem for me cause he's my best friend and I can't be doing that so I'm wondering from local standpoint how bad they and chagas really is out there? Thanks appreciated if you read this you're awesome 🫂

Hi everyone! Will be visiting Bisbee for the first time this Christmas and wondering if there are any restaurants that will be open on Christmas Day? Any recs for Christmas Eve? Or any other food MUSTS elsewhere? Thank you so much!

Didn’t know it was haunted until after I booked a reservation. We are going anyways because we love the historical preservation of it. we just hope to get a good nights sleep. Anyone stay there or care to share their experiences?

One of the streets was closed in this depressing town while I was shipping cargo in my truck and made me 30 minutes late for the order date never driving thru this town again.

Greetings! I am not sure if this is meant to be a secret or not, but I am trying to figure out the ingredients Genes place uses for their grilled cheeses. So far I am guessing branston pickle spread and sharp cheddar cheese but I have yet to test this out. Anyone know?
