Review an actual road trip to save time. The driving distance from Phoenix, AZ to Scottsdale, AZ is 19 miles or 31 kilometers. Most visitors to the Valley of the Sun spend their time in Scottsdale and Phoenix. Although only 14 miles separate the two areas from the city center, neighboring cities span 700 square miles combined, making traveling between them not as simple as it seems.
Renting a car (or relying on rideshare options) is often the best option in the Valley, but determined travelers who don't mind walking a bit can also rely on public transportation. Now let's say you have a private jet and can fly the fastest possible straight line between Phoenix, Arizona and Scottsdale, Arizona.
