As one of the oldest cities in the United States, Albuquerque boasts a unique multicultural heritage and history where Native American, Latino, Hispanic, Anglo and other cultural influences are ingrained in everyday living. Set against a backdrop of the ancient Sandia Mountains, a visit to Albuquerque allows visitors to experience a true taste of the authentic Southwest, while basking in the region’s spectacular weather.

Albuquerque’s golf courses are perhaps one of the sport’s best-kept secrets, with several of the region’s courses having been ranked among the best in the country by golfing publications. With courses ranging from desert links to parkland and mountain courses, Albuquerque offers one of the most diverse golf experiences available. Albuquerque is also home to one of America’s most unique and cherished regional cuisines, so it’s no surprise to know that food is one of the things that people remember most about a trip to New Mexico. The regional cuisine is based on native ingredients such as corn, beans and chillies and incorporates Mexican, Native American and Spanish flavours. Away from the local cuisine, Albuquerque has a hugely diverse choice of culinary options: sushi bars, pizzerias, Mexican taquerias are all available, along with traditional restaurants offering a wide range of dishes.
