The Plaza was once considered the "Central Park" of the city many years ago. Today, this beautiful area with its inviting trees, grass, benches and monuments is still a vital hub of activity. The Plaza is the core of old Santa Fe as it features several attractions, restaurants and shops in the plaza and in the surrounding streets. This site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is usually the site for many of the city's high-profile events.

That elusive trout won't be that difficult to find on the end of your line when you head out on a recreational fishing excursion with the pros from The Reel Life. Trout are plentiful in the Rio Chama, northwest of Santa Fe, and the pros from Reel Life will direct you to the best spots for an awesome catch. You can also arrange a day trip to nearby waters for more excellent fishing.

Santa Fe's the Palace of the Governors is a museum truly built on history. The building was constructed in 1619 by Governor Pedro de Peralta and it stands as the oldest continuously used public building in the United States. Revisit the Spanish colonial period or the Mexican American War when you view the stunning collection of over 17,000 objects that are housed in this dramatic and interesting venue.
