old town albuquerque

我原本是想着能看到一个老城镇-就如这个城市的灵魂,这也是它最开始的形象。但这里就只有商店和餐馆而已。有些商店很不错,卖一些当地艺术家和工匠做的特色工艺品,但其他的就只是旅游陷阱了。还有卖产自中国的东西!在这里花上几个小时吃吃喝喝还是不错的,我还买了一些当地产的不错的产品,但有点失望。还有一座老教堂,不过除了其古老的历史,也没什么可看的了。

老城只有几条街,没什么值得称奇的风景和特色的小店。我觉得可以来逛那么几个小时。

这么多好吃的东西,即使有点观光的意思,我还是很喜欢!停车是一场噩梦,所以别着急,多找找。

在这感受了下Albuquerque的历史,停车地方少,商店不错,公园中心有坐的地方。开车还向东去了Central Ave,看看了景色。

这距离我们酒店并不远。有许多不错的商店。我很喜欢这个地方的感觉。有许多红辣椒。在小公园里还有一些现场音乐。真的是很有历史感的有趣的建筑。

March is off season and not full of tourists. A good thing for us visiting the state and the city for the first time. Many shops cut their prices by half and it was our chance to obtain turquoise jewellery at a good price. We had lunch and dinner in Old Town and enjoyed it each time. It is a good place to take a walk and see artists work. I notice that it was too quiet when the weather was colder or the sun was a little shy.

Loved all of the culture, food and shopping. Don't miss this area of Albuquerque. Plan to spend a few hours here and make sure you eat there.

Paid small fortune for taxi to go to there and back to hotel. Many places were closed. Very disappointing. Maybe weekday is not time to go.

This is a place we visit on each of our trips to Albuquerque. The shop owners generally are helpful and friendly. Today we got a recommendation to stop at the Celtic Shop - what a cool little place with items from both Ireland and Scotland as well as work by local artists. You can find lovely high end art and jewelry as well as inexpensive souvenirs at the various shops. Spend some time, have lunch and enjoy your time.

Old Town Albuquerque is a quaint area, older but quaint; prefer daytime trip, wear comfortable shoes and dress appropriate to weather conditions.

Old Town is definitely the must see destination in Albuquerque. If you haven't been here then you haven't really seen all of the Duke City. The shops are great. Lots of wonderful Native American art, jewelry and craft items as well as delightful imported crafts from our neighbors to the south in Mexico. Some cool places to dine and lots of fun at many of the evening events in the central plaza. And, if you are in town, you have to visit Old Town for the giant Christmas tree lighting at Don Luis Plaza next door to the Basket Shop.

This is a nice little area with lots of little shops with everything from tourist junk to fine art. There're also several different restaurants to choose from.It's all outside but there is plenty of shade if it gets hot.

Some good friends took us here on a recent trip to ABQ. It was a fun place to eat lunch, walk around, pop in and out of the many shops, see the historic church, etc. It's kind of like a smaller version of the square in Santa Fe. Nothing super striking to see or do, but a great way to spend a few hours at the same time.

Was in ABQ for just the day and needed a workout. I like to ride and the staff at the Hyatt recommended Routes. I contacted them and they outfitted with the right size Hybrid to take on Paseo Del Bosque Trail, the premier bike trail in ABQ. ABQ is a bike friendly city and the trail was a short ride from Routes. The perfect way to enjoy the outdoors in ABQ.

I am going to start with the excellent part. I enjoyed window shopping and some of the local artists work sold at some of the smaller shops were beautiful-gourd vases, oaxanon animals, paintings, and of course, jewelry. RedEarth Spirit, the Yucca Art gallery and places near those two are highly recommended.There are a lot of shops here so you could easily spend the entire day shopping. I was, however, turned off by the prevalence of "made by a real indian!" jewelry at many of the shops. It was a lot of generic mass produced stuff you would expect to see at a mall in like Michigan (no offense to Michigan). The prices were high for what was there. I was at the Grand Canyon last year and got a beautiful pair of turquoise hoops and had hoped to find some similar earrings here for friends. A comparable pair of hoops like mine were $60+ when I paid under $40 for mine. My advice is to visit the small side shops and buy things made by named local artists. There were only few places to eat, which kind of surprised me. I ended up eating elsewhere.
