About Albuquerque

Albuquerque is the largest city in the U.S state of New Mexico. The city is home to the University of New Mexico, considered one of the best state universities in the country. Situated on the historic Route 66, which connects the eastern and western sides of the country, Albuquerque is also an important crossroads and transport hub of the region. The city is located on the foothills of the Sandia Mountains, which provides a beautiful and unique landscape for visitors.
 
Located quite a long distance from any major body of water, the city is home to both a beautiful desert terrain and a dry, hot desert climate. There is a large difference between day and night temperatures, so you should pack accordingly.
 
The city was founded by the Spanish in the 18th Century, and the city still reflects Spanish-American culture both in the architectural monuments and the variety of excellent restaurants around the city. You can take long nature walks and picnics in the Sandia Mountains, and use the Sandia Peak Tramway to get around. There are many colorful flowers and species of plants that can not be found anywhere in the world, both in the surrounding countryside as well as at the Biopark Botanic Garden.
