The city centre of Albuquerque was pretty uninteresting really only a buisness district but a few kms out of town was the historic old yown and that had a fair bit to enjoy.
The precint was all set around a central square with bandstand and nice gardens. Surrounding the square are lots of touristy shops, gifts, art, and stuff like that. We found a few great Mexican restaurants only prob every beer they brought out more corn chips and chili dip.. and it was pretty good, saved buying a big dinner.
