Albuquerque, the largest city in the state, is known for its annual International Balloon Fiesta, as well as its historic Old Town, vibrant downtown area, and world-class museums like the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science and the Albuquerque Museum. Taos, located in the northern part of the state, is famous for its historic adobe buildings, scenic landscapes, and thriving arts community.
