Or spend an evening gathered around a kiva fireplace. During the summer you’ll see courtyards overflowing with flowers.

Santa Fe is filled with one of a kind hotels and B&Bs.  One of our favorites is the Inn on the Alameda, a luxury hotel within walking distance of the Plaza and Canyon Road.  Don’t miss the breakfast buffet.  And when you come back from a hard day of exploring, sample the wine and cheese reception each afternoon while you decide what your evening plans will be.

On Saturday morning, visit the Santa Fe Farmer’s Market. Voted by USA Today as one of the top ten farmer’s markets in America, it’s filled with fruits and vegetables from local farmers. Spend the afternoon exploring the shops and landmarks around the Plaza. 

On Sunday walk along Canyon Road and browse through some of Santa Fe’s art galleries. You’ll see an amazing assortment of art including contemporary, Southwestern and Native American.
