Top Things to Do In Albuquerque

Albuquerque can be had from nearly one mile (2km) above the city on
top of Sandia Crest, the windy mountaintop where the view is said
to extend for over 1,000 miles (1,609km). Indian Pueblo Cultural Center The Indian Pueblo Cultural Centre is designed
to give an introduction to New Mexico's rich Native American
cultural heritage and the 19 individual pueblo communities of the
State. Petroglyph National Monument One of Albuquerque's most enjoyable
recreational attractions is the 17-mile-long (27km) stretch of
escarpment of the West Mesa, entered from Unser Boulevard, that is
a treasure-trove of more than 25,000 prehistoric and historic rock
carvings or petroglyphs, some dating as far back as 2,000 years. American International Rattlesnake Museum Albuquerque's Rattlesnake Museum is an
exciting and educational experience. New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science The exciting Museum of Natural History takes
visitors on a time trip through 12-billion years from the formation
of the universe to the present day. Albuquerque Museum The Albuquerque Museum on the edge of the
city's Old Town explores New Mexico's past, using the largest
collection of Spanish colonial artefacts in the United States to do
so. The Turquoise Trail Travellers who abandon the highway and opt
for the scenic byways will be rewarded with The Turquoise Trail
state-designated scenic and historic route, which runs from
Albuquerque to Sante Fe through the majestic Sandia Mountains,
passing through the revived 'ghost' towns of New Mexico's mining
belt. International UFO Museum The town of Roswell in south-east New Mexico
has become the focus of UFO and alien hunters from all over the
world every since the 'Roswell Incident' in 1947, when an alien
craft purportedly crashed near the town leaving surviving
extra-terrestrials.
