General map Old Town Review

Favorite thing: The old town can easily be seen - and, in fact, must be seen - on foot.

Fondest memory: The Old Town is a quaint little quarter, lovingly restored, featuring all kinds of shops. On the north side there is a museum dealing with dinosaurs´ times...

Fondest memory: The incredible variety of Christmas decorations is amazing. Meet Santa Easter Bunny!

Route 66 Review

Fondest memory: Relaxing on the plaza. As every typical ex-Spanish town, the old town also has its plaza, surrounded by adobe buildings.

Festivals & Holidays Review

Fondest memory: It was my first encounter with an American Christmas shop. Since we visited in August, we were quite surprised to find this kind of shop - but later we learned that quite a few towns have these shops all year round. There is one in Santa Fe, too.
