Albuquerque is a beautiful and historic city with terrific weather, rich cultural life, and lots of outdoor activities. Cradled in the Rio Grande Valley beneath the Sandia Mountains, Albuquerque is by far the largest city in the state, acting as the media, educational, and economic center of New Mexico, as well as the home of the state’s only major airport, making it a common entry point into New Mexico.
