15 Best Things To Do in Albuquerque, New Mexico

Picture of Albuquerque, New Mexico

About Albuquerque, New Mexico


Being the largest New Mexico city, Albuquerque is a cosmopolitan city that’s culturally diverse and has a ton to offer. Since the environment is characterized by a desert, the attractions in the region are mainly ‘dry,’ especially if you factor in the presence of the Sandia Mountains.

But that’s nothing to be gloomy over. The city’s hot environment makes it the perfect spot for hot air ballooning. Hence, the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, which takes place in October, filling the sky with hundreds of hot air balloons.

Next to the park is the Anderson-Abruzzo International Balloon Museum, where visitors can learn all about ballooning and even experience a 4D theatre. Didn’t expect to find all this in a desert, did you?
