If you're moving to Albuquerque, pack a camera, because this city is picturesque. The unique geography that characterizes the American Southwest is alive here, with mountains, valleys, and desert skies abound. With an average of 310 days of sunshine annually, it's no surprise locals spend plenty of time outdoors. Each fall, the city hosts the world's largest hot air balloon festival, and people travel from across the globe to see the natural landscapes from the sky. From skiing to horseback riding, hunting to stargazing, you can find an outdoor adventure any time of the year in this vibrant Southwestern paradise.
Albuquerque's environment is home to a landscape of colors you don't find everywhere. Where else is the ground pink? To the east are the Sandia Mountains, named after the Spanish word for watermelon. These mountains are breathtaking at sunset, reflecting the peachy colors of the sky. If you see a greater roadrunner breeze by, no, you're not stuck in an episode of Looney Tunes—you might know the speedy bird for his races with Wile E. Coyote, but the real-life roadrunner is native to the area.
Albuquerque is also known for its culture and diverse communities, with a long history of Native American and Hispanic influence. Learn more about the ways these groups have built Albuquerque by studying local architecture, visiting a Native American merchant, or celebrating the San Felipe de Neri Fiestas in the early summer. A pit stop on the historic Route 66, the city is also home to a stretch of the famous highway, flanked by neon signs, artsy shops, and happening nightlife.
