The American Southwest is a favorite destination for many travelers, but Santa Fe, New Mexico is a hidden gem. Recently, I was able to explore what makes it a destination unlike any other. If you’re planning a trip, here’s a quick guide to experience the best of this city.
Start at the Santa Fe Plaza, the historic city square surrounded by traditional adobe buildings. Local Native Americans sell handcrafted jewelry and pottery here in front of the Palace of the Governors.
Be sure to explore the extensive arts scene! Make a stop at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, stroll down Canyon Road with its many galleries and shops, or visit the Tumbleroot Pottery Pub for a fun combination of crafting your own pottery with a cocktail.
Take a hike at Bandelier National Park, just north of the city, to climb into cliff dwellings of the Ancestral Pueblo people.
And don’t forget the food! Enjoy authentic New Mexican cuisine from local favorites such as The Pink Adobe, Kawaka Chocolate House, or the Santa Fe Farmers Market.
If you’re looking to relax, there are plenty of spas to choose from. Ten Thousand Waves is a unique Japanese-style spa and resort where you’ll have no problem unwinding.
Santa Fe is more than a destination – it’s an experience steeped in culture, art, and history. Whether you’re wandering through galleries, enjoying a margarita, or hiking mountains, this city will leave you enchanted. Ready to explore the heart of the Southwest? Santa Fe is waiting.
