Welcome To Santa Fe
Uncover the Uniqueness of The City Different
D
ear Visitors to Santa Fe,
As Mayor of Santa Fe, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to our amazing City! Those of us who are fortunate enough to call Santa Fe home are delighted that you’ve decided to discover for yourself what makes our town so special. The terrific guide you have in your hands is a superb resource to help you start planning your visit. In it you’ll find much to choose from and to experience — so much so, you’ll quickly realize that one visit to Santa Fe simply won’t suffice.
When you ask our residents what sets Santa Fe apart, you’ll hear lots of different answers. Some will say it’s our living history: We are the oldest State Capital in the country, built on Tewa land and imbued with profound Native American culture both traditional and contemporary. Some will tell you it’s the proud Hispanic heritage that gives Santa Fe its character — and how the blend of Hispanic and Native American influences has produced our singular cuisine, art, culture, architecture, and spirit. Others will say it’s the temperate climate, with blue skies and starry nights. Mountains so close you think you can reach out and touch them. Distinctive shops, galleries, museums, and restaurants. And of course the local hiking and mountain biking trails, ski slopes, and spas. Maybe you should plan to stay a little longer. Santa Fe is known for its Native, Spanish and International Folk Art markets and performing arts seasons (the summertime Santa Fe Opera is world famous). Of course, we had to press pause on such public gatherings last year; as I write this in late 2020, we are hopeful that in the new year, the shows will go on again with renewed gusto. As our guest, you should know that the safety and well-being of our residents and visitors has always been a top priority. Now more than ever, we are dedicated to helping you feel confident to travel safely and have the time of your life in our remarkably hospitable city. The City of Santa Fe works closely with our business partners and cultural institutions, monitoring the public health practices being implemented in restaurants, accommodations, attractions, venues, and shops, to ensure that you can feel comfortable and remain safe during your visit. Until we can be confident that the pandemic has passed, we invite you to join us in taking The Santa Fe Promise.

For current travel information, updates, and guidelines go to santafe.org. Stop by one of the three Visitor Centers, or call 800-777-2489. Of course, you can always strike up a conversation with our friendly locals to get more ideas about what sets us apart and how you can experience it. Whatever you do to explore and enjoy Santa Fe, I can promise you a memorable experience that you couldn’t have anywhere else. So let me be the first to say, “Welcome to Santa Fe!” I know you’ll have fun — and I expect to see you back here soon and often.

History
A Place Lost In Time
DID YOU KNOW?
The area known today as Santa Fe was inhabited as early as 1050 by the Pueblo Indians. 17
santafe.org
F
ounded informally in 1607 and formally in 1610 by the Spanish conquistador Don Pedro de Peralta, Santa Fe is the oldest capital city and the second oldest city in the United States. Nestled at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains on the site of an ancient Pueblo ruin, the city’s history is visible to visitors today. Standing in the four-hundredyear-old Plaza, find yourself gazing at the nation’s oldest public building, the Palace of the Governors.
Just twelve years later, Don Diego de Vargas reconquered the region and grew the city, establishing a lasting Spanish presence. Battered by raids and revolts from the surrounding Indigenous nations and intent on maintaining its empire here, the Spanish pursued a policy of religious tolerance and coexistence with the Pueblo peoples. Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821 and continued to retain control of the city until 1846, when the United States government took issue. Two years later, New Mexico became a territory of the United States, and in 1912 it achieved statehood.
For seventy years, Spanish inhabitants and Franciscan missionaries subjugated and converted the Pueblo Indians, an indigenous population of 100,000 people with nine distinct languages. Growing resentment of the imposition of another culture and the erosion of their own led the peoples of forty-six Pueblos to join forces in 1680 and revolt, driving the Spanish colonists back to what is now Mexico. Much of the city was burned, and yet, the Palace of the Governors remained.
Though its history has been punctuated by conflict and even bloodshed, Santa Fe has embraced its disparate cultural roots, one reason it today flourishes as The City Different.

A
s the oldest capital city in North America, as well as the highest in altitude; Santa Fe reigns as the gold standard of Southwestern culture. Through centuries of trade, artistry and governance, it evolved into a nexus of Native American, Hispanic and Anglo cultures, influences still evident today. From art to architecture, climate to cuisine, Santa Fe embodies the essence of the Southwest. Pueblo Feast Days, Santa Fe Fiesta and other traditions have roots older than the United States, but “newer” traditions, such as the annual burning of Zozobra—Old Man Gloom—and the Christmas Eve Canyon Road Farolito Walk, are every bit as “Santa Fe.” Santa Fe culture is rooted in creative expression. For more than a century, Northern New Mexico’s captivating landscapes have attracted some of the world’s finest artists, writers, photographers and filmmakers. Georgia O’Keeffe, Ansel Adams, Fritz Scholder, Cormac McCarthy, the Coen Brothers and George RR Martin are among the countless creatives who have found inspiration in the Land of Enchantment.
22
Santa Fe’s vibrant outdoor culture is the result not only of its stunning scenery, but also its award-winning clean air, more than approximately 325 days of sunshine annually and diverse terrain. The city is a gem for nature lovers and outdoor sports enthusiasts. Sightseeing, museum visits, shopping and outdoor activities may dominate visitors’ days, but nighttime in Santa Fe brings festive dining, dancing and music yearround. Santa Fe cuisine reflects its fusion of cultures. Enjoy it with a New Mexico wine or a specialty margarita on the Santa Fe Margarita Trail. Depending on the time of year, head for the world-acclaimed Santa Fe Opera, a local gallery or museum exhibit opening, or to the Lensic Performing Arts Center for a concert, theater production, lecture or movie. When it comes to culture in Santa Fe, the well runs deep. Come uncover what awaits.

Immerse Your Senses in the Arts
S
anta Fe has been a top art market for decades, and that’s no surprise given the extensive array of galleries, museums and immersive art experiences in The City Different. From the region’s earliest Paleo-Indian inhabitants to early twentiethcentury Modernists to contemporary artists, New Mexico has long inspired artists from both near and far. As a part of UNESCO’s Creative Cities Network, Santa Fe recognizes the significance of creative culture and its positive influence on the local economy. No matter the artistic style or medium you are drawn to, The City Different has it. The only question is which of the city’s art hotspots are right for you? Here’s the lowdown on Santa Fe’s art districts.
Canyon Road Sporting over one hundred galleries, Canyon Road boasts the densest concentration of art in the city. Charming and diverse, many of the galleries are cozily housed in historic adobe buildings emblematic of The City Different. Moreover, the abundant stops along the way make this mile-long stretch of galleries the perfect pedestrian art tour. In need of a pick-me-up? Stop in for matcha tea, tapas or even lunch at one of Canyon Road’s eateries. Then continue on your way to experience and purchase some of the finest sculpture, painting, photography, pottery and textiles the Southwest has to offer.
The Plaza The Santa Fe Plaza, the heart of downtown, is surrounded by a treasure trove of art spaces. Don’t be afraid to venture up a stairway or into a side galleria: you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Under the block-long portal of the Palace of the Governors that flanks one side of the Plaza, the Native American Vendors Program has been operating for over six decades. It is a trusted location to purchase authentic art and jewelry from New Mexico’s Pueblo artisans. The Santa Fe Plaza Park Artisan Program also works to provide vendor space for local New Mexican artists, enabling them to sell their beautiful handcrafted artwork at this historic location. The Plaza area is also home to the New Mexico Museum of Art, the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum and the Institute of American Indian Arts. It is the setting of annual art markets that transform downtown into a bustling labyrinth of pop-up tents, vendors and patrons. Some larger markets, such as the Traditional Spanish Market and Indian Market, draw tens of thousands of local, national and international visitors. 26
The Railyard + Baca Street With its sleeker, more modern aesthetic, the Railyard Arts District is home to many galleries taking advantage of the industrial warehouse-style spaces near the Santa Fe Depot, the end of the line for New Mexico’s Rail Runner Express commuter rail service. The contemporary art space SITE Santa Fe, local breweries and the Santa Fe Farmers Market make the Railyard a must-see. Baca Street, the southern extension of the Railyard, is home to many artists’ studios, galleries, shops and restaurants. Proximity to Santa Fe’s extensive Rail Trail makes this a great stop for bicyclists to see what The City Different art scene has to offer.
Siler Rufina Nexus The neighborhood surrounding Siler Road and Rufina Street is one of the city’s up-and-coming art districts. The Siler Rufina Nexus describes itself as “a creative innovation district in central Santa Fe that celebrates and cultivates artists, performers, craftspeople, trades-people, makers and innovators of all kinds and the organizations, businesses and actions that promote a healthy, vibrant community.” Anchored by Meow Wolf’s immersive art installation, The House of Eternal Return, this budding part of town offers a unique dimension to the Santa Fe art scene, with a keen eye focused on the future.
Museum Hill Tucked away off Old Santa Fe Trail and only an eight-minute drive from downtown Santa Fe is Museum Hill and its four art museums: the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art, the Museum of International Folk Art, the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture, and the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian. Since all are within walking distance of each other, museum buffs can visit any or all within a day. Should you feel hungry or in need of refreshment, stop by Museum Hill Cafe to enjoy a delicious treat, lunch or brunch while taking in the spectacular view. Before leaving Museum Hill, nature enthusiasts will also want to stroll through the Santa Fe Botanical Garden. 27

Eight Northern Pueblos
DID YOU KNOW?
New Mexico's 19 Native American Pueblos are some of the oldest tribal communities in the country. 31
santafe.org
THE EIGHT NORTHERN PUEBLOS
T
he Eight Northern Pueblos are cultural treasures, and every Santa Fe visitor should see at least one of them. The history of Nambé (Nanbé Ówingeh), Ohkay Owingeh (formerly San Juan), Picurís, Pojoaque, San Ildefonso, Santa Clara, Taos and Tesuque Pueblos dates back more than a thousand years when groups came together to establish permanent communities—pueblos—and engage in agriculture and animal husbandry. Multistoried adobe dwellings are also a feature of this distinct culture. Spanish colonization in what is now northern New Mexico began with Juan de Oñate in 1598. When Catholic missionaries arrived in the early 1600s, they renamed pueblos with saints’ names, built churches and introduced feast days to celebrate the patron saints of Pueblo Catholic Missions. Most feast days are open to the public and are popular. The ceremonies incorporate pueblo spiritual practices (special dances) and Catholic ones. Today, some also include processions or other features. There are many other seasonal celebrations and special events, such as arts and crafts fairs. Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s bring masses, traditional dances, and perhaps a torchlight parade or Los Matachines dance-drama. Guests should familiarize themselves with pueblo visitor etiquette rules. Ask permission before taking photos of any kind, sketching or painting; a fee or permit may be required. Respect restricted areas, areas considered sacred and private homes. Remain silent during dances and ceremonies and do not applaud. Don’t climb on structures or take any “souvenirs.” Do not expect events to begin or end on time. With the exception of Picurís and Taos, all Eight Northern Pueblos are within 30 miles of Santa Fe. Each has its own history, unique structures, crafts and events. (Partial listings of them are given below. For a complete schedule of Pueblo Feast Days and Tribal Celebrations, please visit santafe.org.) The meaning of the Pueblo’s name is also given in parentheses. Before any visit, call to confirm event dates and that it is open to the public.

Chile With An “E”
I
n Santa Fe “Red, green or Christmas?” is a question that you should expect to be asked when you order New Mexican fare. And, no, this isn’t referring to your favorite color or holiday — your server is asking your preference in chile. After all, New Mexico is the “Chile Capital of the World,” which means we take this question very, very seriously.
Want to take home some freshly roasted chile as a spicy reminder of your visit? Plan your next trip to The City Different at fall harvest time and bring an empty cooler. When at the Farmers' Market or a local grocery store, pick up some red chile powder or flakes, a delicious and warm reminder of your Santa Fe visit.
For the uninitiated, heat may be what determines your selection. Neither red nor green is consistently hotter. Because most local restaurants prepare their chiles inhouse, each stop on your dining tour will have its own version of this New Mexico staple. Ask your server which option packs the most punch. If heat isn’t driving your decision, ordering your entrée “Christmas” means half green and half red, perfect for those seeking the best of both worlds. So what makes a chile red or green? It’s all about timing: red chiles are simply green chiles that have stayed on the vine longer and ripened fully. However, once picked, these two chiles are processed very differently. Green chile is typically roasted as a fresh whole chile, then peeled and served diced. Red chile is dried and processed into chile powder, which is then cooked into a thick, roux-based sauce. Meat-based stock is often used to make chile sauce, so if you’re a vegetarian, be sure to ask your server. Chile, one of New Mexico’s two state vegetables, shows up in dishes and drinks where you might not expect to find it: in green chile apple pie, cheesecake, cornbread, some freshly baked breads at the Farmers Market, Cobb salad, and mac and cheese, for instance. Red chile powder might appear in pumpkin soup, chocolate truffles, chocolate ice cream, jelly, margaritas or martinis, to name but a few, while red chile flakes might adorn the top of vanilla -frosted cupcakes or add a palate pleasing note to dark chocolate bark. 38

Santa Fe Cuisine
Y
ou will quickly discover Santa Fe’s restaurant scene sets a high bar for Southwestern cuisine, and while craveworthy meals inspired by regional ingredients from green chile to blue corn abound, your culinary tour of Santa Fe should not stop there. The City Different has a depth of awardwinning fine dining, international flavors and inspired modern fusion options to satisfy any appetite. It also has an amazing number of oneof-a-kind, locally owned restaurants that specialize in our unique Northern New Mexico cuisine. Each has its own twist on this historic offering from the region, and nothing tastes better with a margarita than a dish smothered in red or green chile or “Christmas” that is a blend of both.
Santa Fe is home to the only AAA Four Diamond restaurants in the state of New Mexico and you will find this exquisite service at either Geronimo on Canyon Road or Terra at the Four Seasons Rancho Encantado. The city also boasts several chefs who have been nominated for the James Beard “Best Chef: Southwest” awards, with Chef Mark Kiffin owner/chef at the Compound Restaurant receiving the top honors. If you are looking for a bucket-list splurge meal you will find it here.
Our City Different culture shows up on every plate you’ll order during your next visit. From gourmet pizza and handmade pasta to savory pot stickers and spicy pakora; Santa Fe’s diversity of cuisines will wow your palate. In each corner of the city, you can try dishes from around the globe including Japanese, Indian, African, French, Mexican, Italian, Chinese, South American, Mediterranean, Spanish and more.
If American essentials are desired, try one of our many classic steakhouses, brew pubs or eateries specializing in mouthwatering BBQ. Specialty dinning for vegetarian, vegan and gluten free needs is also readily available. Santa Feans are passionate about dining so be sure to ask any local for a restaurant recommendation or check our full list of restaurants at santafe.org/dine.

Classic Food vs. Santa Fe Santa Fe's Take On Classic Cuisine and Cocktails
W
hether you're sitting down for breakfast, lunch or a happy hour cocktail in The City Different, delight your taste buds with Santa Fe's unique versions of these traditional offerings.
Green Chile Cheeseburgers We all have our preferred burger toppings—bacon and blue cheese or classic lettuce, onion and tomato— but in Santa Fe nothing tops off a perfectly cooked cheeseburger like green chile . . . so much so that The City Different has an annual competition every September known as the Green Chile Cheeseburger Smackdown to determine which local eatery will reign supreme. Decide on your own champion by attending this annual September event at The Bridge at Santa Fe Brewing Company.
Huevos Rancheros Eggs can be prepared many delicious ways, but when in the Southwest, embrace your surroundings and order the tasty breakfast platter known as huevos rancheros. This delectable stack of warm corn tortillas, a fried egg and warmed red or green chile salsa is perfect as is, though many enjoy refried beans or black beans on the tortillas, and salty, crumbly cotija cheese sprinkled atop the stack, with avocado slices or sour cream on the side. Ask your server—this can be great as a vegetarian dish as well. Although huevos rancheros’ roots are in rural Mexico, they appear on breakfast and brunch menus throughout The City Different. You’ll never settle for just a fried egg again.
Red Chile Rim Margarita The City Different has long been a margarita hotspot (make sure to get your Margarita Trail Passport from TOURISM Santa Fe!), but perhaps no take on the classic Southwestern cocktail is quite as Santa Fe as a Red Chile Rim Margarita. This spicy addition to the classic salted rim releases your endorphins before quenching the fire with delicious lime and tequila goodness. 41

A Spirited Tour A Celebration of Handcrafted Beer, Spirits, Wine and Cocktails
S
anta Fe is a place filled with handcrafted specialty items, and alcoholic beverages are no exception. Craft breweries, distilleries, wineries and cideries dot the state, and The City Different has no shortage of stops for those seeking locally made spirits. Whether you prefer the regional classic margarita, fine wine, fresh brewed beer, cider, or tailored cocktail, here’s where to look to quench your thirst.
Travel the Margarita Trail Stop in at any downtown TOURISM Santa Fe Visitor Center to pick up your passport to more than 40 of the best margaritas in the world. Or download the Santa Fe Margarita Trail Passport App and set off for an extensive tour of Santa Fe’s unique and classic takes on this Southwestern staple cocktail. In addition to getting the where-to, receive discounts, earn stamps that can be cashed in for prizes and access recipes. Straight from the Vine Grapevines were first planted in New Mexico in 1629, making it the oldest wine country in the United States. The first grape variety planted, the Mission grape, is still grown here today. Santa Fe hosts a number of wine tasting rooms featuring locally vinified options. 42
Brewed to Perfection From hop-filled IPAs to opaque stouts, Santa Fe’s local brewers take the craft of making beer seriously — and the results speak for themselves. But beer isn’t the only thing brewing in Northern New Mexico: local cideries offer a variety of fruit-derived fermentations, encompassing the hard cider spectrum from sweet to dry. Two local breweries also produce hard kombucha, a unique, refreshing alternative to traditional beers and wines.
Classy Cocktails Santa Fe’s craft distillery scene may be smaller in quantity than its counterparts in the winery and brewery categories, but it certainly does not lack in the quality department. From High Desert Gin to Silver Coyote Pure Malt Whiskey, Santa Fe offers an ample array of Southwestern distilling. But making the goods is only the start — visit these local distilleries’ tasting rooms for specialty designed cocktails that are sure to tantalize the taste buds.
No matter where or what you choose to imbibe in The City Different, remember that altitude increases the effects of alcohol. (Santa Fe is 7,199 feet above sea level.) Pace yourself, stay hydrated, and be safe.

Day Trips Just A Day Away The High Road to Taos In New Mexico, Old Spain is still very much alive along the High Road to Taos. On the scenic, 56-mile route that winds through the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, stop at Chimayó, a town known for generations of legendary weavers and for El Santuario de Chimayó. Sugar Nymphs Bistro in Peñasco is the perfect lunch stop, and the massive adobe walls of San Francisco de Asis Church in Ranchos de Taos are a must-stop photo-op. Once in Taos proper, enjoy one of Taos Cow’s all-natural, house-made ice cream treats. Make your day trip a loop by taking the Low Road back to Santa Fe, stopping in the villages of Dixon or Embudo along the way. Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument Located forty-five minutes outside of Santa Fe, Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument offers visitors a full immersion into the geological processes that shape the unique natural landscapes found across Northern New Mexico. The cone-shaped tent rock formations present an otherworldly hiking experience, created by volcanic eruptions that occurred over six million years ago. The 1.2 mile Cave Loop Trail provides an easy rated walk, while the more difficult 1.5 mile Canyon Trail offers a steep climb to the mesa top, yielding stellar views of the Sangre de Cristo, Jemez and Sandia mountains. Visitors take note that pets are not allowed within Tent Rocks. Los Alamos Home of Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Manhattan Project’s historical development of the Atomic Bomb during World War II, Los Alamos is also the gateway to three different National Parks: Manhattan Project National Historical Park, Bandelier National Monument and Valles Caldera National Preserve. Visitors can get a glimpse into the workings of the National Laboratory via the Bradbury Science Museum then learn about the ancient and recent history of the town and surrounding area at the Los Alamos History Museum. Abiquiú Take a drive and discover the iconic rock formations of Abiquiú—a source of inspiration for generations of artists, photographers and filmmakers. Stop off at Ghost Ranch Education & Retreat Center for a hike before heading to Abiquiu Dam & Lake Recreation Area for a refreshing dip. Take a tour of Georgia O’Keeffe’s home and studio or explore the white rock formations of Plaza Blanca. The Benedictine Monastery of Christ in the Desert, nestled next to the Rio Chama Wild and Scenic River, offers pristine surroundings for a self-directed retreat. The Turquoise Trail: Los Cerrillos and Madrid Head south down Highway 14, also known as the Turquoise Trail, to the neighboring artist communities of Los Cerrillos and Madrid for the perfect quaint, and sometimes quirky, New Mexico town experience. Madrid’s watering hole, the Mine Shaft Tavern, offers visitors and locals alike with live music, drinks and dining. Learn about the region’s history of mining for gold, silver and turquoise at the Cerrillos Turquoise Mining Museum, located within the Casa Grande Trading Post in Los Cerrillos. 44
The Eight Northern Pueblos A treasure trove of culture awaits visitors interested in experiencing the Eight Northern Pueblos of New Mexico, the majority of which are located within thirty miles of Santa Fe. Ceremonial Feast Days are typically open to the public, and many Pueblos hold special events throughout the year, including traditional dances and arts and crafts fairs. Guests should familiarize themselves with pueblo visitor etiquette before arrival. For more detailed information see pages 31-35.

Patron of the Arts - Studio Tours After enjoying the studio tours Santa Fe has to offer, hop in the car and take a drive to any of the many nearby Northern New Mexico communities holding seasonal Studio Tour events. Taos, Abiquiú, Dixon and Galisteo are just a few of the many artist communities that have annual weekend-long studio tours. Artists open their workspaces to the public, offering them a rare glimpse of where the magic happens. In addition to supporting artists directly at the source, these festivals present the perfect excuse for checking out more of the natural beauty that is Northern New Mexico. Family Outing - Ski Santa Fe’s Fall Activities Take the whole family up to Ski Santa Fe to participate in their fall activities. Chairlift rides offer expansive views, both up and down, of changing aspen groves, distant cottonwoods and New Mexico’s Jemez Mountains to the west of Santa Fe. Disc golf and a beer garden round out this great day trip option, just thirty minutes from downtown. Don’t want to drive to the top? Stop off at Hyde Memorial State Park or Aspen Vista Picnic Ground for a fall-time hike or picnic. History Buff - Bandelier National Monument Located one hour from Santa Fe is the ancient cliffside dwellings within Bandelier National Monument. Follow the main Pueblo Loop Trail and find yourself in an 850-year-old Ancestral Pueblo metropolis. Popular stops along the trail include Big Kiva and Alcove House, the large alcove which rests 140 feet above the floor of Frijoles Canyon and is accessed by climbing four wooden ladders. Breath-taking views and a reconstructed kiva offer a taste of what life was like for the twenty-five residents of this historic high-rise. For a unique trip extension, stop off at difficult-to-find Tsankawi (also part of Bandelier) on your way to the main park. Use caution when hiking Tsankawi — this challenging trail reaches exposed elevations, so ensure the weather is thunderstorm free. Girls Trip - Natural Hot Springs There is no shortage of amazing hot spring resorts in Northern New Mexico, but the more adventurous at heart may want to soak in a naturally occurring, free-to-the-public hot spring. Just outside of Jemez Springs lies the San Antonio Hot Springs, a trio of crystal-clear pools that provide pleasantly heated soaks after a solid drive or hike in. Southwest of Arroyo Hondo is Manby Hot Springs, two sizzling pools in the ruins of an old stagecoach stop. Another blast-from-the-past option is the concrete mineral-infused pools of Montezuma Hot Springs in Las Vegas. Once a feature of the luxurious Montezuma Hotel that closed decades ago, the springs range from warm to a very hot 1200 in the “lobster pot.” For additional day trip information, visit santafe.org/day-trips

rom historic architecture to modern retail space to inspired visual and performing arts, Santa Fe proves over and over again why it is The City Different. Putting these unique attributes on full display are the neighborhoods of Santa Fe. The 400-plus-year-old Plaza and historic downtown, the gallery-filled art stronghold of Canyon Road, the depot-chic Railyard and Guadalupe districts, the enterprising art-tech hubs of Midtown and the Siler-Rufina Nexus, and the Southside shopping and dining corridor ensure Santa Fe offers something for everyone. Plaza and Downtown As the oldest capital city in North America, Santa Fe holds a treasure trove of history at every turn. But no part of town is as permeated with Santa Fe’s past as the Plaza and surrounding downtown area.

Stop off to see the unique New Mexico State Capitol—the only circular state capitol building in the United States—known as the Roundhouse.

Planning Your Visit
How to Get Here By Air: For those traveling by air take note: the Santa Fe Regional Airport offers competitively-priced direct flights to and from Dallas-Fort Worth and Phoenix via American Airlines and Denver via United Airlines. Skip the hour drive from Albuquerque and start enjoying your vacation sooner. More info at flysantafe.com. RoadRunneR (505-424-3367, rideroadrunner.com) offers private ride and group shuttle services from Santa Fe Regional Airport to town, available 24 hours a day. Advanced transportation reservations are essential. There are two rental car companies on-site, Hertz and Avis, which also require advance reservations. If routing through one of those three cities isn’t an option, Albuquerque International Sunport will be your destination airport, with ten car rental agencies on-site to help get you on your way to The City Different. Or skip the rental car and make the last leg of the journey north to Santa Fe via the New Mexico Rail Runner Express commuter rail. If arriving outside of rail service hours, catch a Groome Transportation shuttle bus (888-775-5696, groometransportation.com). Private and charter flight services via Santa Fe Regional Airport are available through The Jet Center at Santa Fe Regional Airport (505-780-4455, jetcentersf.com) and Signature Flight Support (505-471-2525, signatureflight. com/locations/sf). Santa Fe has both Uber and Lyft ride-hailing services. Limousine services include New Mexico Black Car Service (505-316-1100, newmexicoblackcar. com), World Travel Management (505-913-9627, wtmllc.com), and Santa Fe Valet & Accent Chauffeured Transportation (505-424-2171, accentnewmexico.com) 82
By Rail: If you have time to travel, nothing beats crossing the country by train. Amtrak’s Southwest Chief line runs from Chicago to Los Angeles, stopping in Lamy, 17 miles outside of Santa Fe. Arrange a shuttle from the train depot into town in advance through RoadrunneR Shuttle & Charter. The New Mexico Rail Runner Express travels between downtown Albuquerque and Santa Fe seven days a week with fewer trains running on the weekend. How to Navigate in Town While a vehicle might be essential for seeing what greater Northern New Mexico offers, it is not a necessity when spending time in Santa Fe. Much of The City Different is accessible by foot, though road, mountain and electric bicycle rentals are also available from multiple local retailers. Need to pop over to Guadalupe Street from the Plaza? In the downtown area, hail a Santa Fe Pedicab (505-577-5056, santafepedicabs.com) and let your “chauffeur” do the pedaling. When the destination is farther than your own two feet can take you, hop on the convenient—and free—Santa Fe Pick-Up, featuring three shuttle routes: the Historic District Shuttle, the Museum Shuttle and the Canyon Road Shuttle. Visit santafenm.gov for a map of routes and stops. The RTD Blue Bus also offers transportation throughout Santa Fe and the surrounding area, with the Mountain Trail route providing hikers, bikers and winter sports enthusiasts access to Santa Fe National Forest and the Ski Santa Fe ski area. Where to Find More Information TOURISM Santa Fe offers a variety of resources for visitors to The City Different. At the Visitor Centers on the Plaza at Paso de Luz, at the Santa Fe Depot and at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center, you can get all your questions answered (and get your passport to Santa Fe’s Margarita Trail).
