Located in the USA’s Southwest, the state of New Mexico has many different attractions to make this an appealing destination for tourists. The blend of Spanish and Mexican heritage gives New Mexico a different atmosphere to most other US states and you’ll find nearly as many people speaking Spanish here as English!
Though not the largest city by any means, Santa Fe is one of New Mexico’s top tourist destinations and the city is the capital of the state. Santa Fe is actually the oldest capital in the USA as it was founded way back in 1607, and it sits at the highest elevation.
There are all sorts of attractions here including unique architecture such as the state capitol building. It’s known as the Roundhouse, for obvious reasons, while there are beautiful colonial buildings such as St Francis Cathedral. During the summer the city really comes to life and is a vibrant and interesting place to wander around. Visit some of New Mexico’s top museums here also, including the New Mexico Museum of Art, Rancho de los Golondrinas, and the Palace of Governors.
Albuquerque
New Mexico’s largest city is Albuquerque and it’s best known for its fabulous International Balloon Fiesta in which hundreds of hot air balloons take to the skies during this fiesta every autumn. Whether or not you’re visiting during the balloon fiesta you can pop in to the International Balloon Museum, or visit the Albuquerque Biological Park where there are several attractions including a zoo, botanical gardens and an aquarium. The Sandia Peak Tramway is another popular attraction.
Carlsbad Caverns National Park
