USA - NEW MEXICO - ALBUQUERQUE: A CITY WITH A UNIQUE CULTURE  Albuquerque is a city with a unique culture, attractions, scenery, cuisine and world-class hotels.Influenced by cultures from around the world, Albuquerque provides an eclectic array of restaurants, art galleries, museums, festivals and attractions. Visitors to Albuquerque can learn more about the Hispanic and Native American cultures by visiting the cultural centers like the National Hispanic Cultural Center of New Mexico and the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. Within an hour’s drive of Albuquerque you can discover ancient cliff dwellings and petroglyphs and at the pueblos take a look at the lifestyles and beliefs of the area's earliest civilizations. The city is famous for the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta® which began modestly as a small gathering of 13 balloons in 1972, but over the years has grown to become hands-down the largest balloon event in the world. Held each year during the first week in October, the Balloon Fiesta brings more than 700 balloons, over 1,000 pilots and tens of thousands of spectators to Albuquerque. The Anderson-Abruzzo Albuquerque International Balloon Museum houses several creative and technological exhibits focused on a wide variety of ballooning experiences and a Ballooning Hall of Fame. Albuquerque has more than 20 unique museums which explore a variety of subjects including Albuquerque history, Indian and Hispanic culture, art, natural history and more. Unique museums in the Albuquerque area focus on subjects such as turquoise, rattlesnakes, hot air ballooning, the atomic bomb and atomic energy, and a fun collection of trinkets and miniature collectibles. Albuquerque is a great place to spend a day or a week with your family. Some of the numerous family-friendly activities and attractions include the Rio Grande Zoo, Albuquerque Aquarium, Rio Grande Botanical Gardens, Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway, Cliff's Amusement Park, ¡Explora! Science Center and Children's Museum, New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, American International Rattlesnake Museum and Tinkertown. Albuquerque is proud of its symphony orchestra, contemporary and classic theater companies, choral, and opera companies. Albuquerque is also home to more than 100 galleries and studios. Local galleries host a monthly gallery tour called ArtsCrawl, a community event for novices and seasoned collectors at exhibition openings. Bird watching enthusiasts often “flock” to the Albuquerque area to study some of the country's most rare and endangered species of birds in their natural habitat. So bring your binoculars, notebook and camera to the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, the Petroglyph National Monument or the Sandia and Manzano Mountains to discover the area's unique feathered friends. Driving down Albuquerque's well-preserved, 18-mile historic stretch of Route 66 will give you a taste of America's original “Main Street.” Albuquerque's Central Avenue follows the path of Route 66 and will bring you back into the days of neon decorating roadside motels and gas stations. The District, Albuquerque's downtown area, has restaurants, upscale retail shops, a 14-screen movie theater and dynamic arts and music scenes. Albuquerque's 310 days of sunshine a year allows you to begin your day skiing in Sandia Peak Ski Area and then golfing all afternoon on its many golf courses. You can hike one of the several nature trails through the bosque at the Rio Grande Nature Center; and view petroglyphs dating back 2,500 years at the Petroglyph National Monument.
