Hints and tips

Albuquerque has a desert climate, so you can expect sunshine and warm temperatures during much of the year. Occasional snow might fall in the winter, especially in higher elevations and at Sandia Peak. Southwest cuisine is king in 'The Duke City', so arrive with an appetite for spicy food, especially red and green chile peppers.
