New Mexico’s largest city, Albuquerque sprawls across a beautiful desert plateau. Founded in 1706 as a Spanish colony, the city boasts a well-preserved Old Town of traditional abode buildings, as well as a lively contemporary downtown district — both are well worth visiting. With accommodation options ranging from chic city hotels to laid-back farmsteads fit for a whole host of tastes and budgets, the best places to stay in Albuquerque promise something for everyone.
Right on Route 66, Albuquerque has the feel of a desert crossroads, thrumming with life. Explore the Old Town’s museums — the Albuquerque Museum, Rattlesnake Museum and New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science — as well as popping into handicraft stores, the impressive San Felipe de Neri Church and the Indian Pueblo Cultural Centre. Guided walking tours come highly recommended. You’ll also find delectable food, fun live music venues and bars aplenty across the city.
Curious museum-goers can venture slightly south to visit the National Hispanic Cultural Centre, or drive out to the National Museum of Nuclear Science. The Scandia Peak Tramway offers mesmerising views from the world’s longest aerial tram and the lava fields of the Petroglyph National Monument are very striking. The autumn Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is an annual highlight — book your trip well in advance to guarantee a room at one of the best places to stay in Albuquerque during the festival!
