Albuquerque Museum and the Free Old Town Walking Tour

🏛️ The Museum

The Albuquerque Museum sits right next to Old Town and covers the city's history and art, with a Route 66 centenary exhibition while we were there.

🚶 The Walking Tour

The real highlight was the free Old Town walking tour, included with museum entry and led by a knowledgeable volunteer docent. We learned far more about the plaza, the church and the adobe buildings than we would have alone.

One thing to note: tickets are for the same day only, so you can't do the walking tour one day and the museum the next.

☕ A Coffee Break

The museum café made a handy pit stop between the tour and the galleries.

📋 Tips for the Albuquerque Museum

• 📅 Do the tour and the galleries on the same day.
• 🆓 Look out for the free Sunday morning entry.
• 🌳 Walk the sculpture garden.
• 🍫 Finish with a Mexican hot chocolate on the plaza.
