| | Albuquerque is a city of contrasts. Nestled between the towering Sandia Mountains and the Rio Grande Valley, the city of Albuquerque is rich with culture and heritage, breathtaking landscape and equipped with vibrant energy that's indispensable to a fast-growing city. Albuquerque attracts skiers, museum-goers, balloonists, and adventure-seekers of all kinds.Historic Old Town Albuquerque holds a quaint charm for many, while others thrill to the sight of hundreds of hot air balloons ascending into blue skies during the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, the largest and most famous hot air balloon event in the world. Albuquerque offers an exciting array of activities for all ages and interests. From mountain biking and hiking to playing a rousing game of golf on one of our famed golf courses, or perhaps taking a tour of one of Albuquerques vineyards or browsing museums and galleries, there is a range of activities for any visitor.Albuquerque's temperate climate, large number of sunny days, proximity to both mountains and rivers and central location along both old Route 66 and, later, Interstate 40 have been drawing people to Albuquerque for years. Some have stayed for a few days, some for a lifetime, but nearly everyone who's ever been here has wonderful things to say about the city. |  | | | |
