The Santa Fe City Guides answer what every visitor wonders: where to order red, green or Christmas, which museums on the Plaza and Museum Hill earn your afternoon, how to reach Taos or Albuquerque without a tour coach and where the evening goes in a town that turns in early. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to try and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Shake Foundation
631 Cerrillos Rd, Railyard side
A little burger shack with a green chile cheeseburger and thick shakes made with real vanilla; the piñon version is the one to order. Ask for a double, as the patties are small. From the food guide.
San Miguel Chapel
401 Old Santa Fe Trail
An adobe church said to be the oldest in the country, raised around 1610 and rebuilt after the revolt of 1680. Look down at the dug-out floor that shows the earlier layers. From the things to do guide.
Rio Grande Gorge Bridge
US-64, west of Taos
A highway bridge 195 metres above the Rio Grande. Pull into the rest area and walk out for the view straight down, and bring a warm layer in winter, when the wind bites. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Santa Fe
Day one: start at the Plaza and the old churches around it, have a green chile lunch from the food guide, spend the afternoon on Canyon Road and toast the sunset with a pick from the nightlife guide. Day two: Museum Hill in the morning and Meow Wolf later, or a drive to Taos or Chimayó with the day trips guide. On a cold or slow day, the family guide’s indoor pool, one good museum and a long diner breakfast fill the hours.
