Independent 3-day Albuquerque city stay with hotel and a walking tour

Albuquerque Getaway, a rail journey with Amtrak Vacations

Amtrak Vacations packages this 3-day, 2-night getaway to Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is sold as an independent rail vacation, meaning travellers arrange their own Amtrak rail travel separately, quoted by a Rail Expert in Coach, Roomette, or Bedroom class from any of more than 500 Amtrak stations. The package itself covers 2 nights of hotel accommodations and a sightseeing walking tour of the city, including Old Town Albuquerque's historic churches, homes, and government buildings along the Rio Grande River. No day-by-day itinerary is published, so this suits travellers who want a short, low-cost Southwest city stay and are comfortable filling in their own schedule around one included walking tour.
