Santa Fe is in mountain and ski country, so expect six to eight major snowfalls from November to April. Make hotel reservations in advance. If you're staying outside the downtown area, your best bet is to have a car. There is city-wide taxi service and a public bus system, Santa Fe Trails, that serves the city with six routes. There is no service on Sundays or holidays.
Schedules are available on each bus, at libraries and at locations throughout the city.
For schedule, rate and fare information, call 984-6730. Parking can be tight in Santa Fe in June, July and August, though most tourist attractions are within walking distance of downtown hotels. There are 15 city-owned parking lots in the downtown area. Be patient in traffic and mindful of pedestrians. Reservations are always recommended for upscale restaurants.
