Things To Do
Cafe Pasqual's
A Santa Fe staple serving creative Southwestern breakfast and lunch with organic, local ingredients. Get there early or make a reservation!
The Shed
A Santa Fe institution since 1953, famous for red chile enchiladas and Northern New Mexican cuisine. There may be a wait, but it's worth it. Oh, and order the Mezcal Margarita.
Five & Dime General Store
A classic general store on the Plaza packed with trinkets, souvenirs, and everything you didn't know you needed. Grab a famous Frito pie served right out of the bag—it's a Santa Fe tradition you can't miss!
The Pink Adobe
Historic restaurant since 1944 in a 300-year-old adobe building. Famous for their apple pie with rum sauce, steak Dunigan, and the Dragon Room bar. Great spot for a nice dinner.

Spanish vibes and Mediterranean tapas in a lively wine bar setting. Incredible sherry selection and shareable plates made with local ingredients.
Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta

Meow Wolf
Immersive art experience that's absolutely wild, trippy, and unforgettable. Plan for 1.5-2 hours. Buy tickets in advance!

Beautiful collection showcasing the iconic artist's work. O'Keeffe fell in love with New Mexico's landscapes and made it her home. Reserve tickets in advance.

Japanese-inspired spa and hot springs in the mountains above Santa Fe. Book treatments or hot tub time well in advance - it's a local favorite for good reason!
