Albequerque is one of the quirkiest cities in the country. Its vibe is like few others: a sunset-backed, turquoise-studded, outdoorsy approach to life that is highly amenable to hiking, biking and frolicking amongst the New Mexico olive trees. However, what Albuquerque has in outdoors activities it largely lacks in city attractions. Suffice it to say, don’t expect your favorite bands to be passing through regularly… or ever.
But that’s okay if you know what to
do. The best thing to do in Albuquerque is to catch the Festival of Balloons each October. Even better? Ride in it.
