Overview:

Santa Fe, New Mexico, offers activities and accommodations to suit all ages and budgets. Local transportation companies can help you plan your trip to and from Santa Fe and within the City. Albuquerque airport is an hour away and Santa Fe Municipal Airport and has daily flights to Denver via United Express .

The local culture is built firmly on Spanish and Native American roots, which is reflected in the city's historic architecture and the crafts sold on the plaza by the hawkers.

The city is also confusing to navigate through with its narrow winding lanes and one-way streets, making it best explored on foot from its busy central plaza.

Locality:

New Mexico's capital city and the oldest capital in the United States, Santa Fe, is sited just 60 miles (97km) north of the state's largest metropolis, Albuquerque, from which it differs quite remarkably.

Entertainment/Facilities/Attractions/Things to do:

Tourists not only flock to this 400-year-old city at the foot of the Rocky Mountains for the museums and galleries, but also because it is surrounded by almost a hectare (two acres) of National Forest, offering great opportunities for skiing, rafting, mountain climbing, hiking and a host of other associated recreational pursuits.

Where Albuquerque is high-tech, Santa Fe is arty, having become a haven for artists of all persuasions and today featuring more than 250 art galleries and studios.

Skiing is excellent during the Winter months and Golf is available year-round (weather permitting.) "Golf in New Mexico isn't just golf. It is a spiritual experience that blends history and atmosphere, landscapes and legend.

Santa Fe opera - This world renowned venue is an amphitheater in the rolling hills just outside of Santa Fe with views of the surrounding Sangre de Cristo and Jemez mountains.
