| Albuquerque Travel Guide for backpackers |
| A city of half a million people, Albuquerque goes about its business industriously by day, and at night throws off the cloak of commerce and diligence and does what it really does do best… party's. People flock to downtown Albuquerque to check out the live music and funky dance clubs. |

 DAILY BUDGET in ALBUQUERQUE - Camp or stay in cheap hostels, practice your own culinary skills, and travel on buses, to a budget of US$50.00 a day, or for a bit more comfort check into a motel and dine at halfway decent cafes and reckon on spending US$100 a day. |
