As the weather starts to grow crisp and cold in most of the country, head to Albuquerque, New Mexico where blue skies and sun shine are the norm 310 days of the year—perfect for a cozy winter escape.
Come immerse yourself in the rich culture and heritage rooted in centuries of history. Breathe in the high desert air scented with sage and piñon, and you’ll understand why this city is a destination like no other.
Whether you want to shop for authentic Native American jewelry, try hot air ballooning, explore living history museums, enjoy events and festivals, sample local cuisines or hit the golf courses and spas, Albuquerque has you covered.
A visit to Albuquerque allows you to experience the authentic Southwest. One of the oldest cities in the U.S., Albuquerque boasts a unique multicultural heritage and history where Native American, Hispanic & Latino, Anglo and other cultural influences are a part of everyday life. You'll always feel you're someplace special when you're eating at one of the traditional New Mexican restaurants, shopping at one of the more than 3,000 shops and galleries, or enjoying our world-class visual and performing arts. Nowhere is the confluence of past and present more dramatic than here, where the modern city skyline is set against a backdrop of the ancient Sandia Mountains.
