Albuquerque: a city that was once pretty much only famous because Bugs Bunny used to regularly bemoan that he\u2019d forgotten to take an infamous left turn there whenever he found himself lost. But the truth is travelers don\u2019t need to think of New Mexico\u2019s largest city has just a landmark for directions when traveling with a cartoon rabbit–it\u2019s a pretty awesome destination in its own right.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Don\u2019t believe us? Here are three\u00a0things that you can only do in Albuquerque<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Take a Breaking Bad Tour<\/strong><\/div>\n
You\u2019d think if your city was constantly associated with a show about a quiet originary school teacher who becomes an infamous drug kingpin (murdering a bunch of people along the way), it wouldn\u2019t be exactly be high on the things you\u2019d tout to possibly visitors, right? Well, you\u2019d be wrong. Especially, if that show was the critically acclaimed and fan favorite Breaking Bad, which was filmed and set in Albuquerque. You can see all the familiar sites from the show with a\u00a0professional tour guide<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0find your own way<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Participate in the Largest Hot Air Balloon Festival in the World<\/strong><\/div>\n
Hot air balloons are a regular site in the skies above and around Albuquerque. The region\u2019s predictable \u00a0weather makes it the perfect spot to pilot the floating craft. In fact, New Mexico as more hot air balloonists than any other state. But the area\u2019s ballooning community really comes alive for the\u00a0Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta<\/a>, which is THE hot air balloon event throughout the world and takes place this year between October 3 and 11. There will be races, shows, mass launchings and of course…rides.<\/div>\n

Learn Everything You Can About Pueblo Culture\/History, Nuclear Science, And\/Or Rattlesnakes<\/strong><\/div>\n
Like most major metropolitan areas, Albuquerque is home to a host of museums and informative attractions to check out, but there are a few unique educational destinations that you can\u2019t really find anywhere else. The\u00a0Indian Pueblo Cultural Center<\/a>, for example, describes its mission as to \u201cpreserve and perpetuate Pueblo culture and to advance understanding by presenting with dignity and respect, the accomplishments and evolving history of the Pueblo people of New Mexico.\u201d\u00a0The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History<\/a>, meanwhile, claims to be America\u2019s \u201conly congressionally chartered museum in its field.\u201d And the\u00a0American Rattlesnake Museum<\/a>\u00a0is home to the the world\u2019s largest collection of different species of live rattlesnakes.<\/div>\n
