Living in Albuquerque is all about balance. Albuquerque’s mountains, deserts and year-round sunshine offer incredible outdoor opportunities for sport and recreation. Our residents strive to be a force for modern day change while still preserving Albuquerque rich history.
Visit Old Town Plaza, one of the oldest and most haunted spots in the United States. Its original Pueblo-Spanish architecture is still preserved. A real must-see when visiting the city, it’s a great place to walk around, shop and grab some traditional Mexican food.
Albuquerque is also the hot air ballooning capitol and home to the International Balloon Fiesta, the largest hot air balloon festival in the world and the current record holder for most balloons launched in an hour. The festival is held every October with visitors from all over the world.
With 310 days of sunshine a year and the nearby Sandia Mountains, Albuquerque is the perfect city for outdoor enthusiasts. The city is near several hiking trails and is considered one of the fittest cities in the U.S. As we like to say, “You’re only bored here if you want to be.”
