WELCOME TO ALBUQUERQUE, NM

Albuquerque is a city of contrasts. Nestled between the towering Sandia Mountains and the Rio Grande Valley, the city of Albuquerque is rich with culture and heritage, breathtaking landscape and equipped with vibrant energy that's indispensable to a fast-growing city.

The city has grown from an 1880’s railroad town of 5,000 to well over a half-million today. It is also a center for tourism, skiing, museums, hot air ballooning, and adventure of every stripe.

Albuquerque's proximity to both nature and modern commerce make it a big draw on many levels. It has very active Anglo and Hispanic business communities, and is considered one of the up-and-coming places to be in the country. The city is known regionally as a center for health and medical services, government agencies, nuclear research, education, banking, and tourism. Albuquerque is also a fast-growing high-tech center.

We’ll bring you in over the mountains and rivers and give you a bird’s-eye view of such attractions as the Albuquerque Biological Park, the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, the National Atomic Museum, Petroglyph National Monument, and the Sandia Mountain Wilderness. We wouldn’t even be surprised if you decided you didn’t want to leave.
