Albuquerque There's plenty to see and do in Albuquerque itself before you head out to see the sights of the surrounding areas. The main drag through town in Central Avenue, old Rt. 66. While a good portion of it is seedy, the areas near the university (known as Nob Hill) as well as downtown are worth seeing. There are a plethora of shops and restaurants to keep one busy for a few hours. If you enjoy the outdoors, it may interest you to head down to the Bosque, the forested preserve along the Rio Grande. There are walking trails, horse trails, biking trails, and opportunities to see a good deal of local character. If you're looking to see 'old' Albuquerque, you may want to head to Old Town, which is around Central/Rio Grande. One of the oldest neighborhoods in the city, the area has been converted from houses into shops and restaurants, many catering mostly to tourists. Don't just walk in any door thinking it's a shop though; some folks still live here.
