Albuquerque, the largest city in the state of New Mexico, sits in a high desert, straddling the Rio Grande. The modern downtown core of Albuquerque contrasts with its historic Old Town, and both offer visitors plenty to see and do. Choosing the best time to visit may depend on your tolerance for heat. If you’re looking for a summer vacation, in June – August you’ll need to be prepared for temperatures that peak at 90 – 95 degrees Fahrenheit. During spring, March – May, you may find the temperatures more comfortable, although they begin to creep up in late May.
