What a gem, Santa Fe is! Once you get into the heart of it, it is very interesting. Very old and as such has the oldest house and church in the USA, 1600s. Church set up by Spanish from Mexico. It is full of interesting shops, bars and restaurants. There is a school of cuisine so possibly no wonder food is good here. This town is high altitude so you need at least 48 hrs to get used to it. You can get breathless. I am mild asthmatic so it was ok. We barely scraped the surface of the town. Loved the park in the centre, very sociable. We visited Georgia O'Keefe museum. Super place, very modern. Paintings are superb. Great gifts in shop. Loved the shop bag, very smart.
The airport is growing which is a good thing. Transport is the issue. People rely on lyft and uber to get around. But they are not always available near airport and at night. Taxi firms are charging, in the main, ridiculous pricing. Journey to town is 20 mins. You need to shop around. I was told pricing from 50 to 117 dollars, one way to hotel at night. Its 20 dollars in day. Car hire closes at 10pm so if flight late it could be a big problem. I'm told people just fly into Alburqueque instead and then drive to Santa Fe.
