Albuquerque is New Mexico's largest city and, some say, the gateway to central and northern New Mexico. Some of the city's attractions are historic Old Town, Petroglyph National Monument, Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway (the world's longest single-span tramway), New Mexico Museum of Natural History and the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. For 10 days each October the Kodak Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, the largest ballooning event in the world, fills the sky with hundreds of hot air balloons.

Called the "City Different," you'll understand why when you see for yourself the narrow streets lined with adobe homes and buildings, some dating back to the 17th century. The city is famous for its history and culture, including museums and art galleries too numerous to mention.
