Albuquerque is a unique eclectic city with a mix of old and new. The sunshine and climate make for great hiking and exploring. The restaurants are outstanding with a growing market in local breweries. There is something for everyone.  Try the going up to Sandia Crest on the Tram or maybe a balloon ride at dawn. The Visit Albuquerque web site is an incredible resource and will inform you about local festivals, music & art events, and other unique opportunities that will allow you to embrace the Albuquerque culture.
