Albuquerque's Absolute Essentials

Albuquerque’s downtown core showcases a diverse architectural evolution, from the 1927 Pueblo Deco style of the KiMo Theater to the mid-century modern Simms Building. The historic Route 66 corridor connects cultural landmarks like the 1906 Rosenwald Building and the Alvarado Transportation Center. Local commerce thrives at the Rail Yards Market and Downtown Growers Market, while the performing arts are anchored by venues like the El Rey Theater and the Kiva Auditorium.
