Albuquerque, abbreviated as ABQ, is the most populous city in the U.S. state of New Mexico.The city's nicknames are The Duke City and Burque, both of which reference its 1706 founding by Nuevo México governor Francisco Cuervo y Valdés as La Villa de Alburquerque. Named in honor of then Viceroy the 10th Duke of Alburquerque, the Villa was an outpost on El Camino Real for the Tiquex and Hispano towns in the area (such as Barelas, Corrales, Isleta Pueblo, Los Ranchos, and Sandia Pueblo). Since the city's founding it has continued to be included on travel and trade routes including Santa Fe Railway (ATSF), Route 66, Interstate 25, Interstate 40, and the Albuquerque International Sunport.

I went to Albuquerque a few years ago. I think it's the one of the few cities in America that I really taken aback by how beautiful it was. It was so different than anything I had ever seen.
Its more like Mexico city/Arizona hybrid thats why
I think ABQ and Phoenix Arizona are the most beautiful places to be especially if you like nature.
It’s that spacious feeling. Wide open spaces are just minutes away on all 4 sides
I moved back to Albuquerque from West Covina, CA. And I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. The main problem are absentee landlords and ruin it for so many. Greed is what is tearing down our beautiful country.
Albuquerque is like Tucson AZ
Where is Saul Goodman advertisments?
People don't understand that this is a state that has a very unique history, culture and even cuisine. Most of America is quite homogenous but there are a few parts that really have a distinct cultural identity.
this is really breaking bad-ish
i think its the camera (its picture color) + winter (trees have no leaves)

so disappointing to be raised here because every time I say where I’m from people go “breaking bad? 🤪🤪🤪” like bro 💀
@@Ionkno12 same, it sucks
Lived there for over 18 years. Moved away in January of this year. I worked downtown and in Nob Hill. Saw
my old apartment complex. Thanks for posting
Hiii
Moved here from LA 15 years ago. I'm digging it. If I ever miss LA it's less than two hours away by air. I love the state as well. Amazing history, food and culture here.
Please don’t advertise for people of California to move here we have enough already. They’ll ruin the city of ABQ like they ruined LA!
@@vapalaca I thought it was Texans doing that. 😆
@@ZIALANDER63 it’s too many these days! TX, CA, CO … many more … unfortunately
Your both wrong. Californians and New Mexicans are flooding our state of texas. There’s no jobs in Albuquerque and the state of California is literally raping it’s its citizens with their tax and rent prices.
@@MrBison-eq8hb Same is happening here too … we see a lot of TX and CA license plates cruising around. It’s unfortunate! They ruined their states and now they are coming over here to ruin us too!
Im thinking of moving to ABQ, heard Saul Goodman was a good lawyer
Started right at George Pearl Hall, where I got my undergrad in architecture fron UNM and spent many nights working into the morning in studio. I would cruise central to drive home when I was too tired to be on the freeway. Many interesting sights to be seen.
Hello, my son will be going to UNM as a freshman. Just want to get your opinion if UNM is a good school. How was your experience when you were studying there? Thanks in advance.
@@baloochness I very much enjoyed my time studying architecture at the University of New Mexico. I minored in sustainability and took classes at the honors college as well. I was able to complete my degree in 4 years and given scholarships to make me be able to afford the tuition. I can only speak to my experience in those realms, I am from New Mexico and lived off campus working and paying rent - I worked 2 jobs throughout most of my education to make ends meet - but cost of living is reasonable in Albuquerque. I was able to network and make professional connections in undergrad that led to my current employment in my field. I am personally not one for sports - but we have a great basketball team and a few big football games people enjoy. There is also a place on campus you can rent camping supplies to enjoy the beautiful nature in New Mexico. There are a lot of yearly events that hopefully will resume now that the pandemic is winding down - my favorite was the sustainability expo and a lot of people like "Fiestas" a yearly free concert on campus. All in all UNM was a great and affordable choice for my education. There is an extremely diverse student body and faculty at UNM. There is also a lot of opportunity for your son to find impactful work in New Mexico. I couldn't forget to mention the food is also amazing if you like some heat! Remind him to not leave any valuables visible in his car though - and maybe buy a wheel lock. We are high in vehicular theft and break-ins. The University and Nob Hill areas are pretty safe most of the time, just be aware and you will be fine. All in all there is nowhere in the US quite like New Mexico - I am proud to call it home.
@@Lo-and-Jaq thank you so much for your feedback and recommendations. It gives me peace of mind as a parent with a child moving away for college. I just want him to be safe and hopefully he'll have a wonderful experience there as well.
Thanks man. Been feeling a bit home sick, this video took me back! See you soon ABQ!
For those not from Albuquerque, the breaking bad motel that Wendy works at is on the right corner at 7:31
Good to know! I thought the motel would be at a much busier neighborhood. :)
That’s where Wendy was giving windys
Best driving video of ABQ yet. I miss my little cubicle downtown now.
This was quite relaxing, like when you listen to cabin noise to try and sleep, this place also really reminds me of Perth, Australia
Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed it :)
Hiii
Great to see how clean our city is. Didn't see any homeless camps or trash. Way to go Albuquerque! Lots of great architecture and historic old buildings. Such a beautiful place! Born and raised! Thanks for the ride.
There was abit of trash at 11:20 on the sidewalk outside KIMO. Passerby looks over his shoulder as he walks past it at 11:30.
Are you kidding me 11:15 half a city block with homeless camps and trash...Did you see the trash can on the corner? over the top with trash. Not a good look im very disapointed in the downtown area
You clearly didn’t watch the whole video lmao
There are homeless driver didnt take you there!
you're right, this city is squeaky clean. homeless is very limited here, unlike skid row.
I was back in Albuquerque last February for a family funeral. I find Albuquerque much more drivable than Seattle. I've taken to riding the bus (pre-pandemic) in Seattle as driving and parking can be ridiculous. One has to remember which way the one way streets of Lead and Coal run in Albuquerque, that is about as challenging as it gets.
Definitely! ABQ has roads that are built to accommodate a lot more cars, and Seattle's hilly terrain really did not help with the driving situation.
The reason for that is three people mapped out that roads of Seattle, lol
@@johnnyblues777 I often say that around here they got top notch aeronautical engineers and software engineers, but got civil engineers that suck hind tit.
They're two way from second st. west bound on Lead and east bound on Coal and turn one way before/after the tracks. Downtown is really stupid, now. Every morning and afternoon the traffic is so backed up. But this one Mayor, I think Martinez (????), wanted to accomodate pedestrians and bike riders as they expanded the business dist.
Yep.. bc its sssppprrreeeaaddd way out. and every road is a huge highway... there arent any back roads.
Moved here when I was 14, in 1973. Del Norte grad 1976. So.. I grew up here, left that troubled city in '07. Many things I miss, many I don't. Thanks for the vid amigo.
i visited the place, over the freeway you can see how the city slants upwards towards the mountains, to the west you could see the open desert which gave me liminal space vibes, so it gave this weird but nice open space feeling,
Thanks for the ride. Last time I was in NM was about 10 years ago and I can't even remember why!. Do remember that roundabout at 12:23 but you turned off northbound. Think I was based a little down the road straight on. Thanks.
Very underrated city! Love the sw vibe you get in this city.
Awww One Up. How I kinda miss those downtown drunken nights 😅
Looks not too bad! Nice video. Thanks for sharing
Better call Saul!
Was my home town great memories 😊
I really hope you enjoyed your time in Albuquerque we're happy to have you this is my home and I love it
i have to visit this very dear city next year. Greetings from Germany
If you are a football fan come see New Mexico United play
Keep secure things out of sight in your vehicle, break in are the most common crime there.
Are you Werner Ziegler??????

SCS did a brilliant job with the New Mexico Map in American Truck Simulator
it's all good man
That hotel at the hospital is where me and my family stayed at and the McDonald’s by unm is where me and my grandma had icecream ah memories
I guess it's one of the most underrated cities of US tbh 💯
In what way??
@@jaxong.2701Nothing but bad like homeless problems, druggies, and bad school education and I lived there but moved to texas with my mom and everything was better.
I do miss the cheap glass prices tho
under rated? LOL
Beautiful city 😍❤️
love from Iraq 🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶
From iraq but persian gulf forever ??? hmmm sounds strange
Edit : name changed 👍😂
I’m from a city in Southern California called Santa Ana, it’s a pretty populous city with over 330k people but it’s not very known. The part of ABQ in 13:10-15:40 reminded me a lot of my hometown
I'm a truck driver from Canada.
Thanks for making this. I hope to travel there sometime. The furtherst I have been is Texas. Cool video!
u been to west Texas

Hermoso albuquerque
So where is los pollos hermanos?
Pollos is far in the South Valley on a Street called Isleta. I used to work at the store where Walter showed up naked 😆
The whole city looks like a parking lot.
every single us state is actually a living parking lot
The video makes the place look cold and bleak. I own land in Huerfano Co, southern Colorado, and I wouldn't go there in winter because it's brutal.
YES IT SURE DOES lmao i feel validated that someone agrees lol
Bro you forgot to show Saul Goodman's law office
Nice smooth camera ..what was you rig set up?
Your drive up on Coal Ave. was interesting, I haven't been there in a while. From very old neighborhoods to newer. Our oasis in this desert state isn't for Everyone. Like the saying: there are other states in the US that might make a person feel more suited for their comfort and lifestyle. Peace @ U.
Not desertic like Las Vegas, NV
Born on Morningside & Central in 1954. Moved to West gates in 1959. Moved to Dulce NM in 1962. Dad BLM man 4 the BIA. Moved back in 1969 . West Mesa High. My Husband from Rio Grand High . met him cruising on Central..Safeway meeting. POP n Taco then on to Roosevelt Park. He lost his life on Ole Coors & Central in 1975 Left me 2 beautiful lbabies. Most my familia is ❤ resting in Burque. .I love my Native Land , which made me a Survivor. BURQUE PROUD..
Nice drive. Not a bad-looking city. Nice actually. Very clean streets and sidewalks all along the entire drive. Lots of city buses, so good public transportation. Never heard any gunshots or saw any car-jackings, so that’s a good thing. It’s really not nearly as bad as some would have you believe when it comes to crime. All big cities and small towns have it.
Por que Breaking Bad retrata ela como violenta ?
En ingles Alberto, por favor. Gracias.
@@albertofranco122 because it is, Albuquerque is actually dangerous outside downtown
@@nicelol5241 these pictures are in the city center ?
It has terrible public transportation.... and the city bought the wrong buses.. All over town and online are posters of drug addicts breaking into peoples cars lol ... where did you go!? or youre just saying that you personally didnt witness it while you visited? Bc its EVERYWHERE
I love the Native /Indegionous footprint throughout the state.
Braking bad 💕💕
Cool 👍💯
I love the ABQ.😊
excellent
I was waiting for los pollos hermanos to show up
Winter during the pandemic!
So downtown is the hot place to be at night? Are there lots of bars to go to?
where the hell is walter white
he is dead bro
whats the weather like there ,year round
I lived there in the 80s and it hasn’t changed that much considering, it was a tough place then with all the cholos, and what I find amazing is there’s actually a statue that dosent allow building to be over two stories and your only allowed to paint earth tone colors on the buildings, if you fly over it in a airplane it’s so camouflage you can barley see it. , I hope they can preserve that city and make it flourish
like houses cant be over 2 stories? Downtown has some buildings that look like theyre 5 or 6
It's true that we don't have very many tall buildings in Albuquerque. The tallest one is only 22 stories. But that isn't by statute. It's just what builders have chosen to do. There are many many buildings over two stories, and you can paint them any color you want. There are no color restrictions. I can't imagine where you got that information. I'm wondering if you are putting us on.
I know guys what you are searching in this city very well ❤️
7:32 The Crystal Palace.
When did you do this ..on a Sunday morning. This city looks like everyone left to go to Denver for the weekend. Nevertheless..thanks for the vid. I was on the fence about moving there but now im completely off the fence
Downtown ABQ was extremely empty in the mid-winter this year cos of COVID
@@fanzbeans ohhhhh... well its summer and i still never see anybody walking. so just a couple spring months its popping?? Booked a flight home bc of how lonely it is here... Even the store people dont remember you when youre there every day lol.. wild. Like theyre on auto pilot "NJ? Oh thats a new one" DUDE I SEE YOU EVERY SINGLE DAY. lolol
Omg.. I hope my niece is fine. She’s just moved to that state from our Country of New Zealand
Where'd all the people & traffic go? When I was last there in 2002, there was a lot more of both.
wonder why he doesnt answer- say which day and time it was... thats abq for ya
Must be on a Sunday hardly any traffic
Why don't you drive through the south valley ?
Wow, looks like a ghost town.
your ass is a ghost town
Home sweet home
I love this city
From Saudi arabia 🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦
For anyone who lives here, how is the public transportation? Is it alright?
No. The buses are dangerous- theyre free until autumn and only the homeless and druggies use it.. my mom will on OCCASION if its passing by and very hot to get maybe 2 or 3 miles. otherwise she walks.. theyre urgently looking for bus drivers, who keep quitting due to violence- theyre scared to be driving... all my uber drivers told me NOT to take the bus lol I dont even feel that unsafe in JERSEY
For someone looking at this video who is not familiar with NM, they would not know where or what they're looking at. It would be nice if you would explain or point out where you are. Anyone could run a video while they're driving, but it takes more effort to speak while the video is running.
You have a point, man!
I knew a guy that lived there he was my high school chemistry teacher he was a good guy…
even small cities of america have great infrastructure
Anyway i can use some of your footage for a video of mine? I will give credits obviously :]
Ojala vivir en Albuquerque
Albuquerque is a pretty city..a pretty landscape...pretty ppl I don't know....😊but I would live in one of those Adobe places right now
I don't see people walking down the street, it looks like a ghost town. Spanish cities are more humanized, they have atmosphere, they have life.
Tons of cars and buses in the streets
Random moron in the comments: lOoKs lIkE a GhoSt ToWn 🤪🤡
There were people in the streets throughout the video, I don’t know why you expected droves of people walking in the middle of the day
Mr. Heisenberg brought me here
Its very similar to Sonora México
This where iam from i missed my home Town but i live in Barstow
Say my name
I've lived in ABQ for 4 years, visited and wanted to live here for over 30 years. I found this difficult to watch as it is blurry. Most of the drive is not in downtown. I noticed someone commented on not seeing the homeless, but I saw some in front of the Kimo Theater downtown. Another comment said the city looked dead....it's Covid time, folks. We have strict restrictions that have worked. Have seen a video on downtown San Francisco and it looks the same...no one there right now.
Thanks for the support! Sorry for the blurriness that you have experienced, have you tried to check if the video quality is at 4K? Maybe that will show better picture quality.
Yep also saw the homeless. Its clear tho, gotta up the pic quality like guy said. itll help!
اني والدي متوفي ومدفون في هذه الولايه اشلون اقدر ازور قبره
mhm nice and high seating position ... just like a pontiac aztek
Amazing
where is walter whit
Now, do it again at 3pm on a work day
Aquí creo que vive el Duque de ALBUQUERQUE. Supe hace años su nombre al que pertenecía el Ducado. Lo tengo que ver.
That’s UNM not downtown Js.
Yep, I started the drive from UNM :)
Where’s everyone?
the car from 14:30 to 15:15 bugged me LMAO
Heard it is a retire's Paradise?
Supposed to honk your horn going under the tracks on Central!
How come? I genuinely don’t know lol
Porque hay poca gente???
Ordens de Gus Fring e dos Salamancas
Where are the People on the streets ?
High school musical film there Albuquerque well I think
No not at all. It was filmed in Utah. The movie characters just claimed they were in Albuquerque
Jesse we need to tour Albuquerque New mexico
I'm not sure what time of day you videoed this, but the homeless, crazies and drug addicts are much, much more prominent that what I see here! The city is literally out of control in terms of crime and street drug addiction, w/ a police force that is known for shooting first and asking questions later. They've been under a Federal Judicial Order to stop that for a looooong time. Hands down the most dangerous city I ever lived in. They actually had to put live cameras on the buses that go directly to the police because of all the assaults that occured on them.
People say how beautiful it is....Abq is brown, and only the sunsets liven it up. A good art scene and the green chili is good too, but believe me, its not worth it to live in that dump. You can get a green chili cheeseburger even in Arkansas now. Just look at other Abq youtube videos here, that's the real Abq.
Not really. ABQ is safe if you are careful
Where is hwy 66
The one with the bus lane.
So Peaceful lol
hamlin, hamlin mcgill
bro i cant leave NJ.. it seems like there r no ppl here lmao
I'm here after watching 'Breaking Bad'
very nice show. Isn’t it?
@@weicitytour yeah, I was completely into the show! I learnt plenty of lessons too!
el pelado del señor White
Parece cidade deserta
So there’s hardly any trees ....what’s the problem?😜
There are actually LOTS of green trees but in winter, all the green is gone. I live here and believe me, from the 11th floor terrace of my apt. bldg. you see a blanket of green over the entire city, from east & west to north & south.
Waltuh listen to me waltuh
