Latest Albuquerque hotel reviews
Pro
Long empty distances between sights ....
Con
New Mexico is at the bottom of every list (economic growth, drunk driving, teen pregnancy, education, etc. etc. etc.)
In a nutshell
good food, blue skies, and enough to get the flavor of NM
47 Reviews As in any Spanish colonial city, the heart of Albuquerque’s Old Town is its Plaza. The town was founded in 1706 and as it grew settlers built their houses near the church and around a defensible centre, which eventually became the plaza. Shaded with trees it is a very pleasant place in which to...
33 Reviews The Sandia Peak Tramway bills itself as the "world's longest" and, for all I know, it may be...from my perspective, it felt like the world's longest wait to get back down once we'd seen the sunset from atop Sandia Peak. But that's just being crabby. Actually, except for the lame jokes our tram...
19 Reviews See my Petroglyph National Monument pages for more info on this. The ancestors of some of today's pueblo tribes painstakingly carved the majority of 25,000 images of plants, birds, animals, people and mysterious shapes into the tumbled black basalt within Petroglyph National Monument. The park is...
34 Reviews I have been going to the balloon fiesta for 34 years and have missed only one or two. By far the best time to go is on the week days. The week ends are very crowded. On the week ends expect to spend 30-60 minutes in traffic getting in, unless you try to get there before 6am or so. There is plenty of...

13 Reviews After a good meal in the Flying Star Café and a walk on Central Avenue we were ready for a night cap. There were a couple of bars on that stretch of road; one had a live band and therefore a cover charge, but the other, although it had a DJ playing records in one corner, was free to enter. The...
3 Reviews It's hard to pick a theme for this place. Yes it's a nightclub. Yes it's a cigar bar. Yes it's for people watching. And yes, there's live music at select times. It's Imbibe! One of my new favorite places to chill with a friend or two. I never showed much Nob Hill until this year. Since it's near the...
15 Reviews For those tourists visiting Albuquerque without a car, the New Mexico Rail Runner will give you an opportunity to get around some of the nearby towns, including Santa Fe. The Rail Runner offers an infrequent service (check schedule) which runs from Santa Fe in the north, down through Kewa,...
11 Reviews Getting around ABQ is easiest by car. For families, older people, the lazy, etc., there's just no way around it. There are places, like Old Town, where you can park the car and walk around for an afternoon, but the city is so spread out, walking isn't practical unless you're some kind of super-fit...
10 Reviews The Palms has been around since at least the 1930's. It is a place where you can get authentic Native American jewelry, pottery, and rugs -- not to mention a host of other things which won't cost you an arm and a leg. The website crows, "Palms Trading Company has the most complete inventory of...
5 Reviews Peacecraft specializes in products from around the world that are sustainable in nature, and empower the makers ...... the contents of this business are quirky, fun, and beautiful. As stated on their website: Mission Statement To assist the poor and disadvantaged through the promotion of fair...
16 Reviews Manuel’s Food Market opened in 1924 and is located at the present-day intersection of Edith Boulevard and Roma Avenue. Manuel lived to be 98 and his daughter, Clara, still runs the market. Adelita's grandmother also lived there in the 1920's. Her wonderful blog about the area tells us that "if...
7 Reviews Nestled behind the hospitals in the South Martineztown area there is a small, neighborhood park at the corner of Edith and Roma, next to Longfellow Elementary School. A unique cultural treasure, the 1983, fiberglass sculpture, “Southwest Pieta,” by the famous New Mexico artist, Luis Jimenez Jr. sits...
11 Reviews Like any large city, Albuquerque has crime, but several of the reviews here are too old. Over the past decade the city has worked hard at making Central Avenue from Nob Hill through Downtown much safer. Adding in the tremendous economic growth and increased prosperity of the city over that time,...
5 Reviews They say for every thousand feet of elevation, you can expect a five or ten degree temperature drop. Well, whatever, just remember the higher you go the colder it gets. It may be ninety-five in the city, but it can still be sixty at Sandia Crest. So bring a few extra layers, especially if you mean...
8 Reviews Someone with a sense of humor used to live just south of Madrid on State Highway 14. The little house is partially made out of a railroad car and the bridge from a flatbed trailer. He/She must have been a welder, since the gate is very unique. The "ranch" is abandoned now. Madrid has problems with...
14 Reviews A very popular excursion from Albuquerque is to take the Sandia Peak Tramway to the top of the mountains that fringe the eastern side of the city, for the view and for the outdoor pursuits available there (walking in the summer, skiing in the winter). We did not do that. But there is another way to...
7 Reviews I'm a big soccer/baseball fan and both of these sports may take some patience to fully appreciate all the intricacies. What better way to enjoy the great american passtime in optimal weather with a wonderful backdrop of the sandia mountains in a brand new stadium. The team is decent too so theres a...
3 Reviews "One of college basketball's most famous and recognizable buildings, University Arena is the home of New Mexico men's and women's basketball". The University of New Mexico Lobos and Lady Lobos basketball teams play here. "The Pit" is also used for other events throughout the year. Lobos jersey.
11 Reviews I liked how pretty the sunsets were here. There were different shades of orange, yellows, purples. The clouds looked cool. Bring your camera if you go out around dusk. The air felt clean and crisp compared to LA. It was funny to hear how the locals did complain about how the pollution would settle...
