About Albuquerque
Historic Albuquerque dates to 1706, when it was founded as a Spanish colony. Today, it is the largest city in New Mexico and the hot-air-ballooning capital of the world. Some of the city's top sights include the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science and Old Town, where you will find historic adobe homes, traditional eateries and the 18th-century San Felipe de Neri Church.
