great events and affordable nature.

The experts at Fodor’s
Travel announced today that Albuquerque has been named among the Top 25 Places to Go in 2013. Fodor’s editors have
chosen Albuquerque as a hot travel destination because of our excellent value
for visitors, calling the city an affordable getaway for nature lovers and
families. Albuquerque’s visibility on the AMC show “Breaking Bad” has also
helped elevate the destination’s profile for travelers. "The places on our Go List are our ‘must-dos’ for the coming year. Travelers should add these far flung and domestic destinations to their 2013 itinerary," said Arabella Bowen, Executive Editorial Director at Fodor's Travel. The cities were selected by Fodor’s senior editorial team who began with an initial list of 75 global travel spots, narrowing them down to the final 25 locales on the Go List after heated internal debate.
The story highlights a slower pace of life and calls out the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, the ABQ BioPark and Gruet Winery as highlights. Two local lodging boutique properties were called out by the editor – Los Poblanos Historic Inn & Organic Farm and the Hotel Andaluz - and appropriate for this time of year, Fodor’s mentions the Luminaria Tour at the holidays as a special time to visit Albuquerque.

The story, which is available here: http://blog.zagat.com/2012/12/20-awesome-winter-foodie-destinations.html, says “If you haven’t experienced the great Southwest, now is the time and Albuquerque the place to start.”
Just west of Albuquerque, the Acoma Pueblo was also named one of “12 most extreme places in America worth visiting” by BudgetTravel.com and showcased on FoxNews.com.
