GETTING AROUND 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.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

When the destination is farther than your own two feet can take you, hop on the convenient—and free—Santa Fe Pick-Up (505-955-2001, santafenm.gov) featuring three shuttle routes: the Historic District Shuttle, the Museum Shuttle, and the Canyon Road Shuttle. Santa Fe Trails (505-955-2001, santafenm.gov) is another option, offering multiple and farther-reaching city routes for a nominal fee. The RTD Blue Bus (ncrtd.org) 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 Ski Santa Fe.
