Santa Fe is called “The City Different” for good reason. With its many unique neighborhoods, Southwestern pizzazz, and Indigenous heritage, the city is home to so much history and charm—and not just because it’s the oldest state capital in the country. I’ve spent the last 30 years taking cherished trips to Santa Fe, hiking through the desert landscapes, visiting ancient sites, dining on New Mexican cuisine, and shopping for local crafts such as woven blankets, smudge sticks, and turquoise jewelry. This city holds a special place in my heart.
I also love that Santa Fe is an artistic haven, boasting 250 galleries and architecture so recognizable that you could distinguish it from anywhere else in the country. One of the best ways to take advantage of the incredible art scene? By staying in an Airbnb. Not only will you get the chance to spend the night in one of Santa Fe’s iconic homes, which are works of art in and of themselves, but you’ll also be surrounded by local life, which is part of what makes this city so special.
