Downtown Landmarks, Museums, Restaurants, Pubs

Santa Fe Plaza , circa 1694, is the hub of the city. Popular cafes & shops surround the plaza. The oldest Harvey hotel in America, La Fonda, is a great place to enjoy a sunset and Margarita in the Bell Tower lounge. There are many Festivals throughout the summer and fall at the plaza. Native Americans sell their crafts under the portico of the old Palace of the Governors.
