The Downtown Albuquerque area is bounded by I-25 and the Rio Grande River, and by I-40 and Cesar Chavez Ave. The Albuquerque area is a city undergoing great revitalization; many older buildings have been converted into modern luxury lofts. The downtown area is rich in entertainment, offering theaters, museums, restaurants, and nightclubs. Public transportation options are aplenty–making community sustainability a reality.
In the fact-finding mood? You won’t want to miss the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History or the ¡Explora! Science Center and Children’s Museum. For a full-day excursion, there’s the Rio Grande Zoo. Looking to just relax and kick back? Take a stroll around Old Town and take in all the fabulous New Mexican artifacts. Limited on time? Bring a lunch and walk around Tiguex Park (pictured right). Downtown Albuquerque even boasts an 18-hole golf course at the Albuquerque Country Club. And catch a variety of special events, including movies and concerts, at the Harry E. Kinney Civic Plaza (pictured left).
