Extending west from Old Town Albuquerque to the Rio Grande, West Old Town provides ample Southwestern charm and terrific views. Those amazing views and Albuquerque’s ample sunshine can both be enjoyed at ABQ BioPark, which offers a botanic garden with walking paths, an Aquarium, a Bugarium, and a Japanese garden. The Paseo del Bosque Trail runs along the western edge of the park for walkers and joggers.
Shopping in Old Town is an experience you’ll want to have frequently after moving to West Old Town. With more than 100 shops, restaurants, and art galleries to explore, all encapsulated in amazing historic architecture, and with a variety of special events held in Old Town, this is a destination that will never get old. But Old Town is actually quite old – it was established in 1706. It is home to the oldest church in Albuquerque – the San Felipe de Neri Church, built in 1793.
You can’t get bored in West Old Town – the historic district has too much to do. Spend time at the 300-year-old Old Town Plaza, where musicians and dancers often perform.
