The vibrant city of Albuquerque lies in the high desert, at the heart of New Mexico. The city provides an excellent contrast between its modern and pulsating downtown and its roots in the Spanish-influenced old town, which dates back to 1706. You will find plenty of activities to keep you occupied, including unusual museums, fabulous art, and a wide variety of outdoor pursuits.
One of the most popular vacation activities has to be hot air ballooning, and there is even a museum dedicated to the history of this sport.
Outdoor enthusiasts have over 300 days of sunshine per year to enjoy everything from winter skiing to summer hiking, biking, golfing, and more.
Albuquerque is also a delightful destination for foodies, who can indulge their taste buds with wonderful New Mexican cuisine.
