Santa Fe is a beautiful, historically rich town out West that continuously draws visitors and tourists year-round. Often labeled "The City Different," you'll be sure to have a diverse, entertaining vacation in this lovely city. Those looking for a romantic getaway should consider visiting this gorgeous New Mexico town at least once. Learn how to plan your own romantic vacation in Santa Fe by following these pointers.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Take a night sky tour. What could be more romantic than stargazing in a dark, New Mexico sky? Astronomy Adventures: Guided Night Sky Tours allow tourists to stargaze, learn about the southwest skies and utilize binoculars and telescopes while doing so.

  2. Step 2

    Go on a hiking tour and scour the beautiful mountain ranges in Santa Fe. Santa Fe Mountain Adventures allows adventure-seeking visitors to mountain bike, whitewater raft or simply hike through nature's most pristine landscapes.

  3. Step 3

    If you and your partner love history and culture, check out the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. Here you can find all sorts of culturally rich exhibits, displays and events showcasing Santa Fe's Native-American tradition.

  4. Step 4

    Visit the Palace of the Governors, a unique landmark built by the Spanish government in the 1600s. Or stop by the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi to tour an architectural masterpiece built in the 1800s.

  5. Step 5

    Visit a romantic restaurant in the heart of Santa Fe. Rio Chama Steakhouse is a great pick, where diners can feast on delicious steaks in intimate surroundings, either indoors or outside. Or head down to Fusion for sushi, Asian cuisine and dancing.

  6. Step 6

    Book a room at a high-end, whimsical Santa Fe resort. Many include modern amenities such as health and fitness clubs, golf and other fun activities. A great choice is La Posada de Santa Fe Resort and Spa, the perfect pick for romantic getaways.
