Visiting Santa Fe

Visiting Santa Fe?

No matter why you're visiting -- whether it's for the city’s rich history, multiculturalism, art scene, food, or anything else -- you're sure to find lots to see and do in Santa Fe.

Here are a few tips to get the most out of your visit.

Transportation

By Air

Santa Fe is serviced locally by Santa Fe Municipal Airport. A few airlines offer direct flights to Santa Fe from certain cities in the U.S., and that number is steadily growing.

If you can’t catch a direct flight from your city to Santa Fe, you may fly into Albuquerque International Sunport and then catch a short connecting flight or drive to Santa Fe. Santa Fe is about an hour from ABQ via car.
