Review:

Albuquerque is the largest metropolis in New Mexico, located along the edge of the beautiful Sandia Mountain range on the banks of the Rio Grande River. The city, which sits at an elevation of nearly 6,700 feet above sea level, is known for its beautiful Old Town district, which is home to historic adobe buildings like the San Felipe de Neri Church. Visitors can explore family-friendly museums like the Albuquerque Museum, the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, and the Albuquerque Biological Park zoological complex. Live music performances are presented throughout the year at the Isleta Amphitheater and Tingley Coliseum. Each year, the city hosts annual special events like the International Balloon Fiesta, the world's largest hot-air balloon gathering.
