Canyon Road

If there's any doubt that Santa Fe is a prime destination for art lovers, Canyon Road trumps it. Stretching eastward from the Santa Fe Plaza, Canyon Road is home to a slew of art galleries selling renowned artwork from famed artists such as Fernando Botero and cultural treasures like hand-woven Navajo rugs and Southwestern wood carvings. The street itself is also a feast for the eyes: many of the galleries found here are housed in historic adobe buildings laced with brilliantly-colored flowers, and the spicy odor of chili peppers oozes from the doorways of top-notch eateries like Geronimo Restaurant and Compound Restaurant. If you're not sure where to start, tag along on a walking tour of Canyon Road's attractions -- details are available on the Canyon Road website.
