Free Santa Fe Visitors Guide:
A Window on the City Different

Each year the Santa Fe Convention & Visitors Bureau publishes a free guide of vital information for visitors to Santa Fe. The Official Santa Fe Visitors Guide is distributed annually to 400,000 travelers, convention participants, and folks simply interested in the city. As of the first of the year, the new 2008 guide became available, just in time for planning winter trips or dreaming about what to do when the warm weather returns.

The new guide is filled with information on Santa Fe’s remarkable history, traditional cultures, romantic allure, fascinating surroundings, and numerous attractions. There is a comprehensive list of the city’s many hotels, motels, inns, and B&B’s, a guide to restaurants–in a place where red and green chile rates just as highly as the city’s fine-dining–maps of the downtown historic district and areas to explore outside the city, a calendar of 2008 event highlights, and a handy list of FAQ’s. The 92-page magazine has information on Santa Fe’s museums, spa offerings, galleries, performing arts organizations and venues, outdoor activities, and much more. In addition, there are special pages about the new Santa Fe convention center due for completion in the summer of ‘08, the city’s impending 400th Anniversary, and what’s happening in the Santa Fe Railyard, a 50 acre attraction unto itself, much of which will be in place this summer.

The visitors guide is filled with images of the city, to give a glimpse of how this very different town looks, and is crammed with enough information to make anyone’s trip a success. The guide is free for the asking at the bureau’s information booth in the Santa Fe Arcade, 60 E. San Francisco, Santa Fe, NM, by calling the Convention & Visitors Bureau at 800-777-2489, or online at www.santafe.org.
