Albuquerque, New Mexico

Population: 448,607

Filled by impressive pueblo architecture and with the striking Sandia Mountains occupying the skyline, Albuquerque embodies the image of a Southwestern utopia. Its regional flavor is reflected in the quaint Old Town district, where distinctive local art and jewelry shops can be found alongside the expansive Albuquerque Museum of Art & History. New Mexican cuisine is one of the city's sources of pride; almost everything is served with a choice of the town's famous red or green chile. In October Albuquerque's premier event, the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, sees crowds flocking to watch hundreds of brightly colored hot-air balloons rise up into the sky as exciting cultural heritage events take place on the open ground below.
