If you are visiting Albuquerque, it makes great sense to include the colorful and vibrant city of Santa Fe in your list of day-trip destinations. You can reach historic Santa Fe in about an hour along the scenic Turquoise Trail (State Highway 14). Art lovers can spend hours in no fewer than ten world-class art museums which include the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, the Center for Contemporary Arts and the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art, among other Santa Fe attractions.

To learn about the history of the city you can join a guided walking or tram tour of the historic sites. Enjoy some great New Mexico cuisine and round off your day with some shopping at a large variety of boutique stores and markets.
