Travel Note

Getting Around

Airport (ABQ Sunport) is just 10–20 minutes from central Albuquerque. Rideshares (Uber/Lyft), taxis, and hotel shuttles are available. If you plan to explore beyond the city, consider renting a car — Albuquerque is spread out and public transport is limited.

Guide

If you’d rather stay in a home, here are safe, central, and convenient neighborhoods for Airbnbs: Old Town / Sawmill – Walkable, charming, close to museums, the BioPark, and lots of restaurants. Great if you want to be near the wedding events. Downtown / EDo (East Downtown) – Lively, with restaurants, bars, and coffee shops nearby. Great for those who like a little nightlife. Nob Hill / UNM Area – Fun, eclectic neighborhood with Route 66 vibes, coffee shops, and local boutiques. North Valley / Los Ranchos – Quieter, greener area with big cottonwood trees and beautiful walking paths. Northeast Heights (near Uptown or near Sandia foothills) – Suburban feel, safe, with shopping and access to hiking in the Sandia Mountains. ⚠️ Areas to avoid: Airbnbs near the International District or far South Valley may be less safe and farther from main attractions. Stick with the neighborhoods above for peace of mind.
