In Albuquerque, you can travel through time. Stroll through New Mexico’s super modern large city with its massive skyscrapers until, just around the corner, you come across the 18th-century world of Old Town Albuquerque, founded in 1706. Enjoy the architecture of ancient adobe buildings or ornate San Felipe de Neri Church. There are five museums to investigate as well as many quaint restaurants and souvenir shops where you can pick up original Native American handicrafts. Visit the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center to see native artifacts, art exhibits, and dance demonstrations. A ride on the Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway will give you a chance to see the Rio Grande River and the entire city from high up. The Turquoise Museum showcases examples of brilliant blue emeralds sourced from over 80 locations around the world.
