The place in Albuquerque which I liked the most is Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. I had plan to visit Santa Fe but unfortunately the bus for railway station didn't show and I had to cancel the plan. After geeing back to hotel and taking some rest, I planned to visit Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. It was best decision of that day and I thoroughly enjoyed my day. After spending 3-4 hrs at Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, I headed to New Mexico University but this post is more about how to reach Indian Pueblo Cultural Center and main things to do. There are some very useful tips in terms of timing to visit, especially during weekends.

How to reach Indian Pueblo Cultural Center from different parts of Albuquerque ? Lyft & Uber operates in Albuquerque city of New Mexico but the city also has pretty good bus service. I used Buses to commute between places in Albuquerque and took help from Google maps app. One bus ride costs you $1 and for $2 you get day pass & can use bus throughout the day without any max limit of rides. $2 day pass in Albuquerque city makes lot of sense.

Be aware that buses may not be on time all the time, so refreshing google app to know new time is worth. It saves you time by replanning. You may need to walk for a few minutes in case a particular route bus is delayed.

Please keep in mind that you may need to walk a bit if you chose bus and otherwise prefer Uber/Lyft.

What to expect at Indian Pueblo Cultural Center ? The best thing I liked is the dance performance which happens only during weekends. Every Saturday & Sunday dance performance happens at 11am and 2 pm. This performance showcases Pueblo culture and it's brilliant performance by kids of different age groups with support of 2 curators who beat the drums and sing.

Apart from the dance performance, the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center has various museum galleries. It's awesome to walk through each of them and enjoy audio-visual content. While checking out Indian Pueblo Cultural Center museum I realised there are lot of commonalities how old houses used to be built in India with mud, grass pieces and natural material. For New Mexico, the resources quality may vary but practices were almost the same. That encouraged me to read more and check out various audio/video presentations in Indian Pueblo Cultural Center museum.

On the plaza's north side stands San Felipe de Neri Church, which is a Spanish colonial church with a very old architectural style.

San Felipe de Neri Church is a historic Catholic church located in Old Town Plaza of Albuquerque, New Mexico. This Church is one of the oldest surviving buildings in the city and the only building in Old Town proven to date to the Spanish colonial period. When I learned that, it was very interesting fact for my brain to register and appreciate. The church is listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties and certainly makes lot of sense.

Above photograph of San Felipe de Neri Church is clicked from across the road. During the Victorian era, under the influence of Bishop Jean-Baptiste Lamy, the church was remodelled with Gothic Revival elements, including bell towers, a new pitched roof, and interior decorations, to give it a more European appearance. Over a period of time, the changes in this structure made it special and more appreciable as a piece of architecture in Albuquerque.

If you liked this post and found it helpful, I would request you to follow these things when traveling - 1. Manage your waste well and don’t litter Use dustbins. 2. Tell us if you went to a place and found it hard to locate a dustbin. 3. Avoid bottle waters in hills. Usually you get clean water in hills and water bottles create lot of mess in our ecosystem. 4. Say big no to plastic and avoid those unhealthy snacks packed in plastic bags. Rather buy fruits. 5. Don't play loud blaring music in forests of jungle camps. You are a guest in that ecosystem and disturbing the locals (humans and animals) is not polite

Some of the other main places to see Albuquerque Sunset are mentioned in various articles online but I found one thing weird in those lists. Most of them enlist hotels, restaurants or pubs.

I have intentionally not mentioned places here and certainly want to alert that many of the lists online look like promotional posts for commercial buildings.

If you liked this post and found it helpful, I would request you to follow these things when traveling - 1. Manage your waste well and don’t litter, Use dustbins. 2. Tell us if you went to a place and found it hard to locate a dustbin. 3. Avoid bottle waters in hills. Usually you get clean water in hills and water bottles create lot of mess in our ecosystem. 4. Say big no to plastic and avoid those unhealthy snacks packed in plastic bags. Rather buy fruits. 5. Don't play loud blaring music in forests of jungle camps. You are a guest in that ecosystem and disturbing the locals (humans and animals) is not polite

Most of the Events, exhibitions and programs are presented in the areas of music, theatre, dance, visual arts, culinary arts, film, history, literary arts and cultural-significant customs, featuring local, national and international artists, scholars and entertainers. In addition to its own events, the NHCC also hosts hundreds of rental events each year - in its theatres, ballrooms and outside plaza. Unfortunately when I visited National Hispanic Cultural Center, there was no event happening and I had to just head back within 15 minutes. And it's little away from Albuquerque Downtown, so it was little disappointing. I wish I had checked their website before planning a visit.

There is pretty good bus connectivity between New Mexico University and other parts of Albuquerque Town. I was in Downtown and there are multiple direct buses from Downtown to New Mexico University. The drop may be at different places within New Mexico University campus.
