Albuquerque may still be synonymous with Breaking Bad, but it is sorely underrated as a destination on its own terms. Though its culinary reputation is dominated by green and red chiles, Albuquerque is also home to a surprisingly healthy wine and beer scene: It has a higher concentration of breweries per capita than even Portland, Oregon. With its surrounding otherworldy landscape and Native American culture providing endless inspiration, the arts are also a major focus.The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center preserves the legacy of New Mexico’s 19 Pueblos through exhibitions and dance, and Nativo Lodge features 12 specially designed artist rooms, including one that is in 3D. Art here also serves a functional purpose, with the musical road on the Albuquerque stretch of Route 66 playing “America the Beautiful” when you drive over it — but only if you are obeying the speed limit.
