Since this is mainly a tour through public areas such as Old Town and downtown, you can walk around at any time, 24 hours a day. However, if you want to visit shops and galleries, the usual hours are 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; see more details on the Visit Albuquerque website.

Strolling through the streets of Old Town and enjoying the colonial architecture is completely free. You will only need to pay if you decide to enter specific museums or purchase an audio guide to discover the city's hidden stories in depth.

To soak up the atmosphere, see San Felipe de Neri Church, and walk around the Plaza, I recommend setting aside between 2 and 3 hours. If you plan to stop for a meal or visit museums, consider spending half a day.

Just a few minutes away you will find the spectacular Sandia Peak Tramway, the longest aerial tramway in the Americas. The Museum of Natural History is also very popular, and for TV fans, there are the filming locations from 'Breaking Bad'.

Do not underestimate the altitude and the sun; you are in the high desert, so always bring water and sunscreen. Also, try the local food with green chile or red chile—it is the culinary soul of New Mexico.
