THE ADVENTURE ABOVE ALL Plan your visit at: SANDIAPEAK.COM SANDIAGOS.COM TEN3TRAM.COM 2 VISITABQ.ORG ¡Bienvenidos! Welcome to Albuquerque, or as locals endearingly call it, “Burque.” While our city is a celebrated destination for the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta during the fall, we offer excitement year-round. Albuquerque is home to unmatched natural beauty, one-of-a-kind New Mexican cuisine and a fascinating cultural history. Born and raised here, I’m extremely proud of our city. Having the privilege to serve as the Mayor gives me the opportunity to share what makes Albuquerque one of the best destinations and a great place to live. From our beautiful Bosque along the Rio Grande to the Sandia Mountains, we boast some of the best outdoor hiking, bike paths and sightseeing. Here, you have a unique opportunity to experience history unlike anywhere else in the country at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, Historic Old Town, the ABQ BioPark or our National Museum of Nuclear Science & History. You can’t leave without eating a green chile cheeseburger or an enchilada plate with a sopaipilla at one of our local restaurants. And don’t forget to drop by one of the many local breweries that win international awards for their craft. As you can tell, Albuquerque is a one-of-a-kind city. I hope you have time to experience the many things that make our city special, and that you’ll come back again soon.

Biggers A lbuquerque is a city that deeply respects its heritage while also enthusiastically embracing innovation and change. All around town, historic properties are being revitalized for new purposes; established attractions are being upgraded with new features; and exciting new hot spots are quickly becoming part of the quintessential Albuquerque experience. In the Duke City, change happens as surely as the shifting seasons, but these new arrivals are always grounded in the city’s roots. This trend is easy to spot in the area surrounding the city’s historic center. Old Town, Albuquerque’s 1706 founding neighborhood, is a trove of shops, boutiques, galleries and restaurants. It’s also where you’ll find the historic plaza, which was the original community gathering spot, and San Felipe de Neri Enjoy Our Traditions, Explore Our Additions Church, one of the oldest surviving buildings in the city. The area is rooted in history, yet constantly changing. Here you’ll find several of the city’s museums, including the Albuquerque Museum, the Explora science center, and the New Mexico Museum of Science & History. Just steps from Old Town is another neighborhood that is undergoing rapid revitalization. The Sawmill District, where timber once was brought in by rail spur for finishing at local lumber yards, is quickly becoming one of the most buzzed-about neighborhoods. The former Paxton Lumber warehouse is transforming into the Sawmill Market, a food and artisan market hall. Slated for a February 2020 opening, it will be the state’s first food hall, focusing on fresh local produce and meats as well as prepared foods. Other redevelopments are planned for the Sawmill District, which is already home to destination shopping at lifestyle store Spur Line Supply Co. and accommodations at Hotel Chaco. The latter opened Craf+ed, a New Mexico wine, beer and spirit tasting room, in fall 2019. Another revitalization project that exemplifies how Albuquerque links the past with the present is the Rail Yards. Once a bustling industrial complex dedicated to maintaining and servicing rail cars on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, the site’s old blacksmith shop now is home to the Rail Yards Market, held every Sunday morning from May through October, with holiday markets in December. Here you’ll find local produce and baked goods, art, educational demonstrations, live music, and activities that range from yoga to children’s crafts. DIRT ROAD TRAVELS 8 VISITABQ.ORG One of the Duke City’s most iconic destinations, the Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway, glides from the foothills to the peak of the Sandia Mountains, unveiling 180-degree views of the Rio Grande Valley. At the peak, tram riders — and hikers and skiers at Sandia Peak Ski Area — have a fresh way to take in these views: from a dining table or a bar stool at Ten 3 restaurant. It takes its name from the more than 10,300 feet elevation at the tram’s terminus. The restaurant, which opened in August 2019, pairs unsurpassed views with small plates at the bar and fine dining in the restaurant proper. Plans to demolish the former restaurant and rebuild were more than a decade in the making. Albuquerque links the past with the present Long-held plans are also unfolding at the former location of the Albuquerque Indian School. These grounds have been home to the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center for more than 40 years. The cultural center explores the past and present of New Mexico’s 19 pueblo communities. Today, the pueblo center’s business arm is developing Avanyu Plaza across the street. This plaza is already home to the first Native American–owned Starbucks in the country, the craveable Sixty-Six Acres eatery, and green-chile cheeseburger mecca Laguna Burger. Another 20,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space are underway, as is a new 92-room TownePlace Suites by Marriott hotel. Art is tucked into every corner of Albuquerque, from the Albuquerque Museum and the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, to other cultural destinations like the National Hispanic Cultural Center. Blending art with technology is Electric Playhouse, which recently took over a former Staples store on Albuquerque’s COMING IN 2020 In addition to the uploads/Science et Technologie/ albuquerque-visitors-guide.pdf
