Flights to Albuquerque, New Mexico

Albuquerque is situated in New Mexico and is a beautiful, rapidly growing city in the central part of the state. Albuquerque was established as a Spanish colonial town in 1706; visitors can get a taste of the area’s past by visiting historic Old Town where Albuquerque began.

Today, Albuquerque’s economy relies on technology and education; it is home to many high tech businesses and to the University of New Mexico. Other institutes of higher learning make their home in Albuquerque as well. Many restaurants and shops are located on Central Avenue near the university, giving the area the atmosphere of a college town. Central Avenue is part of Route 66.

Thousands of people flock each year to see the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. Some of the events take place at night; the sight of numerous hot air balloons lighting up the Arizona night sky is spectacular.

To the east of Albuquerque are the Sandia Mountains, while the Rio Grande is to the city’s west. Take the Sandia Peak Tram to the peak of these mountains and observe the desert below. On good days, it is possible to see 15,000 square miles of New Mexico. Watch the Rio Grande wind its path through a valley filled with cottonwood trees; observe the area’s long dormant, but still fascinating volcanoes. When night falls, enjoy the stars twinkling in the clear desert sky.
