Santa Fe, New Mexico
The oldest capital city in North America marches to its own drummer – and that drummer probably has a really cool art gallery in the Canyon Road district. Adobe architecture gives the city its distinctive warm glow, while chile ristras add splashes of red to the terra cotta palette.
The Plaza has been the heart of Santa Fe since before the United States existed, while the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum proves that desert inspiration creates masterpieces. The capitol building’s art collection would make most museums jealous, and the local food scene spices up governmental proceedings with serious green chile heat. Even the air feels different here – maybe it’s the altitude, or maybe it’s just Santa Fe magic.
