Old town plaza is absolutely amazing. Great people, friendly and there is some unique and interesting stuff to check out. If you are in the area or just want to check out some amazing stuff and even find good food. Do your self a favor and check it out you wont regret it

This place was a wonderful find!! So much to look at and experience. The park is so beautiful and all of the shops are surrounding it. The art and souvenirs will keep you busy looking and trying to decide. We ended up getting very lucky. We stopped at a jewelry store called Warpath and ended up getting my fiances engagement ring!!

Old town plaza was awsome. And beautiful place to sit and relax in the park area also under the trees to catch a little shade. Stores were great all shops and gift / souvenir shops were great but best one and biggest was covered wagon. Recommend that shop also bigger then other but lot more stuff. Very nice place and would definitely go back again. Couple restaurants too but werent open when we were there. Beautiful gazebo in middle of the little park in middle of hole thing.

This place is such a neat little town with a bunch of shops with variety of unique things you can buy. The atmosphere is like no other place Ive been to. I would highly recommend if you have a few hours to visit.

Beautiful plaza surrounded by nice quaint boutique style stores and restaurants that will take you back in time! Unfortunately right now due to Covid 19 much of it was closed but one could imagine how nice its be during the normal times. Ample parking available around the Old Town Plaza both metered and free! You can find small stores selling Beautiful native products and gifts and many restaurants. Theres also a small park in the middle in front of the Church. Overall a nice place to walk about!

A nice place to visit. Most shops are closed due to current events but a very humble place to visit. Amazing shops that were open. A nice, cool visit.

4/12: Everything closed, great time to just walk around and relax. The church itself was closed, but the gardens were still accessible.

Beautiful in snow, although none of the vendors were out due to how chilly out was. The church is so pretty and the brick sidewalks are gorgeous as well. Tons of good f restaurants and museums nearby.

This place was such a great time! The shops were so cool and unique there were places for food and overall a stunning atmosphere! Would take anyone who visits here

Nice atmosphere and friendly people. Beautiful scenery

Love the rustic old style this place gives. The structures are old but magnificent! Always a good place to visit if your here in a buerque!

This was a great place to kick around for the day. So much beauty in old town, beautiful park, coffee shops, fantastic restaurants, lots of gift shops, shopping in general.

A very unique place. Shopping is fun in this area. Some shops may carry similar items but still enjoyable.

Fun time for the whole extended family. Wonderful dinner at the Church Street Cafe. Its just a shame that the shops close down so early. Probably because of the pandemic....but still.... only 4 stars because of the governor.

Wonderful area for patio dining. Fun shops! Full of history.

Albuquerques Old Town plaza is one of the prettiest plazas in New Mexico. The shops are nice high end to total tourist. Old Town vendors under the La Placita portal are a must visit.

Its always a beautiful place full of history. I love going to clear my head or to enjoy me time.

I went in search of Dia De Los Muertos sugar skull candy or cookies. Candy Lady had nice sugar skulls. The vendors were very pleasant and we thoroughly enjoyed buying a couple of jewelry items from the outdoor vendors.

Beautiful historic Pueblo plaza.. tons of shops and restaurants. But more importantly, the historic buildings and Native American culture that is the core of this fantastic land.. Visit with the local Native Artist who showcase their one of a kind creations of artwork and jewelry.This is a must visit stop while in Albuquerque.There is much to see and do here including Museums. The shop owners are super friendly. On a quick note, stop by the back street grill known for their Mexican infusion menu... say hello to Ashley for some great recommendations on food and drinks...

Quaint town setting. Lots of cool shops and interesting buildings.

Old Town Plaza Never Gets OldEvery time Im in ABQ, I try to make my way down to Old Town. The place never ceases to amaze me. Its the kind of place that can take you back in time to see what things were like way back when. Old Town ABQs Plaza is rich with history, culture, and entertainment. You can find everything you need during a visit, there is the Plaza, the center of Old Town with shops, restaurants, museums, galleries, bars, cafes, and other services. The San Felipe de Niri Church for instance is located right on the Plaza. You will also find many of New Mexicos indigenous peoples with art, jewelry, clothing, blankets and traditional items like sage, sweetgrass, or really cool things like antelope jerky for sale. Whatever your interest is you will find it in Old Town.On this visit, I had the chance to check out many of the gift shops and Trading Posts where one can find the usual touristy trinkets like pottery or one of the famous Kachina Dolls. There are hundreds of pieces of turquoise and silver fashioned into necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and other types of jewelry. My goal was to find local hot sauces, BBQ rubs and maybe some unique spices, and wouldnt you know it, I found a whole wall of hot sauces in one of the trading posts. I also found an old favorite, New Mexico Pinion Coffee. I was able to get some really cool shirts for my kids too. One of the most featured items I came across was the blankets, keep in mind these are high-end and hand-woven blankets with intricate Southwest designs and they can set you back hundreds of dollars. You could literally spend hours in the gift shops.Old Town ABQ has a thriving food culture as well, you will find a smorgasbord of dining options right in the Plaza area. The food tends to focus on local cuisine as you will find, Southwest, TexMex, Mexican, Grilled foods, Cafes, Coffee Shops, Pizza Parlours, etc. You will not go hungry if you visit Old Town. The food prices vary from budget level to fine dining, please budget accordingly. There are also a host of other restaurants in Old Town and nearby to serve you as well.Old Town also has an abundance of Galleries, showcasing art and artists from all across the southwest. These galleries showcase paintings, sculptures, saddles, ornaments, Kachinas, Pueblo art, and so much more. Be sure to check out the many galleries in Old Town, and as I mentioned before, budget accordingly as I witnessed someone buying a piece of art that was thousands of dollars in value.The heart of Albuquerque has a host of other options as well. There are a few buildings for tourist info, museums, services as there are a host of businesses in Old Town. Need a hair cut? Massage? Dentist? Yes there are several services on-site to choose from. This is a historical mecca and if you guessed it, there are several tours you can choose from, some for the Plaza itself, tours of Old Town, haunted house and ghost tours, a trolley tour of Albuquerque and the Famous Breaking Bad tours that take you to many of the sites where Breaking Bad was filmed.I could go on and on, but I will wrap this up. Old Town is a must if youre ever in ABQ. You will find every amenity you need for your stay, as there are malls and grocery stores nearby. There are plenty of places to stay including boutique hotels and motels, chain hotels, and value hotels as well. Old Town Albuquerque is truly a national treasure and a must for any explorer.

Got some nice t-shirts and green chile hot chocolate. It was excellent!!

Beautiful plaza surrounded nice souvenir and jewelry store. The chili garlands are unique decor sold in most stores.

A taste of the old life. Lots of shops. Dont touch the cactus fruit. Im still picking out thorns. Lol

A lovely place to take a walk. The retro car and Harley motorcycle aficionados entertain the whole plaza by blasting oldies. Love it.

Only had time to visit two places and we only saw a few people walking near the plaza. Its always fun to visit & well be stopping again soon before Christmas!

Cute little town.. wish I had more time to spend here.. even the houses around the area are beautiful..

Great place to visit, you can buy you can buy authentic Native American jewelry right from the vendors out on the sidewalk. For the most part all the shops the people are courteous, some lack courtesy and did not tell you, there are some who let the simple words of hello and thank but other than that its a great place.

This was a nice experience to see buildings from long ago, some of the stores were closed on a Tuesday. Lots of locally owned shops. Nice courtyards to sit and eat or take pictures. Very Quaint area about 4 to 5 blocks

It was nice but everything was closed because of Covid 19

Nice place to walk around and shop. Have some coffee or icecream. We had our dinner. Lots and lots of shops and galleries. Seen some beautiful art. Music in the park at 7pm Friday night. Great Albuquerque afternoon!

Always love it! Love La Placita restaurant!

Absolutely Beautiful. Even more when a storm is rolling in. Gives you a huge insight on what life was like back in the day. Great places to eat, visit, and shop. Highly recommend as a trip for tourists and even local people.

Emma , the sales lady at Warpath store , was fantastic , personable, professional, exceptional when it come to deciding on what piece of jewelry that fit me & my granddaughters. Had a wonderful experience. Thank you Emma at Warpath.

Loved being in the old town district. Theres still so much life down here and people still living in little homes that are hidden from other parts of the world. Its a great place to explore. Buy local explore local be local!!! Have a good day

I fell in Love with Old Town many, many years ago, and I still love and appreciate this place. When ever I visit, Old Town is on the very top of the list, for places to shop. Thank you, to the merchants of Old Town, NM.

A very cultural center place that is reminiscent of the wagon and carriage days. There are many old style shops that have hand grown or hand made goods.

This is a beautiful old world park that has the greatest charm. One particular night the was a small traditional band playing in the park. The decorations and architecture are reminiscent of a small old Mexican town. This is a nice relaxing place to take the family

Its a wonderful reminder of the few upside of Spanish colonialism, because it resembles other Latin American town centers.

Always enjoy a stroll thru old town

We always drop in at Old Town to see whats new. With limited activities this visit, it was really quiet. The buzz of the patrons helps build the excitement. It was too quiet this trip bug we will be back.

This is a good touristy place. Tourists can buy nicknaks and enjoy a nice walk and good restaraunts through out this area.

Awsome place .. So clean so friendly. What a beautiful place

Really cool area but several shops were closed and the ones thats were open required a face diaper.

Always love going to old Town to shop and to eat at the restaurants down there what a great place to visit....

Beautiful old town scenery. Its great to walk thru the plaza and visit the shops

I really like the Old Town Plaza area very safe feeling to it for some reason. I think the tourists help with the safe feeling. Its nice to walk around here. Nice museums and park nearby. Great to see some of the Art around. I wish it was more like Santa Fe with some people performing more, but sometimes they have movie stuff going on here so its been interesting. Also they sometimes have performances in the middle small park at the Gazebo. I could walk around here and feel mostly safe at this place so thats nice. Its not just the tourists its the shop owners that make this place feel safe!

I always find parking and it’s never really busy when I go there some evenings during the week.

Very warm day, but the shady plaza was very comfortable. The Church Street Cafe is a nice place to grab lunch and our cocker spaniel was welcome on the patio. The whole area was fog friendly.

Love the shops! Love to go there every time were visiting Albuquerque

This is a nice area to shop, eat, and enjoy the beautiful historic area of Albuquerque.

Old Town is a collection of New Mexican food and trinkets for tourists. Theres also a year round Christmas store, if thats your thing. The buildings are in the Spanish-style and the ice cream is cold. Its near museums and the freeway. If you can find street parking, then its free! We only paid five dollars for three hours though. Its a fun walk!

Just walked around. Nothing open at 9:30am Monday. Interesting old church. Authentic old southwest buildings.

Love all the old shops in the things you can find.

Tons of places to shop and lots of beautiful areas to sit and relax.

Charming and eloquent! Its small, but its a beautiful reminder of a time long gone away. The architecture is Adobe and classic southwestern. The square in the middle is beautiful for weddings and pictures. The shops and stores have native and unique items that represent the culture of New Mexico. I highly recommend stopping by here if youre in New Mexico and interested in experiencing more culture!

A wonderful place for the whole family. Shopping, dining and historical sites. Visit there soon!

Great place to meander and shop. Expensive gifts. The cheaper ones really are...stick with authentic hand crafts. Nice for out of town tourists.

Wonderful place to enjoy a stroll, with feelings of times past, neat little shops and a beautiful gazebo.

Beautiful place to walk around. People there are so nice.

Absolutely charming place. It truly felt like you stepped into a completely different place and time...away from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding city.

So quiet now that ppl arent out doing much bc of covid, was not busy at all

Many graduates taking pictures. So nice to see young people about to start their futures in one of the oldest established places in our country. Heart warming! And cool cars cruising.

Nice little quaint town square with interesting shops selling all things ABQ...nice place to spend time shopping for souvenirs and tasting the local cuisine

Interesting history surrounding the plaza, with the mission located near the center, there are a number of authentic shops with everything from Family Owned local textile weavers, to artisans of native pottery and cuisines. Recommend as an easy stop for views of original buildings and local culture and souvenirs.

Old town is a neat area. Lots of history and great shopping. The street vendors are the best with beautiful jewelry and wares to sell. Definitely check them out. Rattlesnake museum is great and the old church is beautiful. You can almost imagine the Cowboys and horses coming through town

Lots of beautiful old buildings to look at. Also a good place to sit and enjoy the scenery. There are lots of beautiful flowers plants and trees to look at too.

Old charmin city with a good history. Beautiful!

This was a very nice place to go to sit and rest and see some history . There are vendors nearby selling different stuff many shops nearby. Definitely visit here when in Albuquerque.

A pretty typical tourism location. Lots of interesting shops, only I was dismayed at the prices. I recommend going at least once. The evening concert series were pretty cool.

A was fun walking down the plaza going thru the stores

It is a beautiful place filled with historical buildings, friendly merchants, and relaxed atmosphere.

Nice, not too crowded. Must business were open.

This is a nice spot for an educational tour of American history and artifacts. A beautiful scenery and structures, located in downtown Albuquerque.

Great place to visit. Plenty of shops and vendors that have beautiful jewelry and western art. Most is pricey but the prices are not in stone and you haggle. Went to Church Street Restaurant and the food was amazing; prices were reasonable .

I never get tired of Old Town, especially at Christmas time. It is a special place. I always manage to find something to buy, candy lady, incense, Zia paraphernalia, cute cards, interesting clothes.

A great place to shop and eat. There are tons of great shops up and down the square with great Christmas selections. Plus the open air market on the weekends is super nice.If you want to grab a bite, everything is good, but I personally love the Church Street Cafe. If you want New Mexican, El Portal is the place to go.The best part about it all is that you get to support local.

A must see for Albuquerque visitors! Great food, entertainment and variety of cultural experience. Old Town Plaza offers historical sites, unique shops, delicious restaurants and access to museums and parks for a relaxing day. The plaza is small enough for any age group and take advantage of the different ally ways, you may miss out on a one of a kind shopping find. Old Town Plaza is a must see! P.S. Great Pokemon area!

Food was so awesome. Ppl were nice greeted us. Brought our beverage on time.

Really nice part of the old town.

Very nice are old Spanish building. Lots of stores, great catholic church building.

Great history and energy. Perfect for dates or family fun

Nice old town centre feel, nice shops and restaurants. Great place for visitors

Enjoyed a stroll through Old Town today. Lots of cool stores, gorgeous old church. Tons of awesome souvenirs. Cute place to visit, we enjoyed it.

Theyve got music nice restaurants and lots of stores with souvenirs. Its feel a lot more authentic and rustic than the old town plaza in Santa Fe.

Love to just take a walk in old town

A romantic day in Albuquerque. This plaza is full of amazing galleries,architecture, food, and atmosphere. This is a perfect place for a romantic getaway filled with culture and beauty.

Had a nice day in the area. Lots of shopping and dining.

This area is smaller than Santa Fe Old Town but the prices arent as astronomical. If you play Pokemon, this is a great place to come for raids, community days, stocking up inventory, or just everyday play. It is a bit touristy, and parking is hard to find at peak times. But definitely worth an occasional visit.

Love the laid back atmosphere with live music playing and everyone having a good time

Staying only one night in Albuquerque on our road trip meant the Old Town Plaza was the one place we didnt want to miss. Spent the afternoon strolling the streets and browsing the shops. Couldnt have been any better. Mid Sept. after the heavy summer tourists were over, I guess. Timing was just right to pick up a fresh Chili Ristra. The best times are spent reading about the history and culture of the Plaza and Albuquerque. Wish we had a lot more time to explore the area.

This place is wonderful, great shops and friendly people.

Great experience just walking around and taking in all that old school America culture and architecture. Loved it!

No open restaurants, very little local art work or nothing you couldnt find online half the price.

Old town is a great place to visit when on vacation. Plenty of shops and restaurants. A must see.

Plenty of food, arts and boutiques. Best of all benches for men to sit on while their significant explores the shops. Great coffee at the Blackbird

Mostly touristy tourist merchandise these days but scenery is nice.

Ive always have enjoyed visiting old town even as a kid when my Elementary school would bring my class mates and I on a field trip.

The music of the band is great in the central plaza

Its old and its a bunch of tourist shops. But nice on a cool day.
