Quaint, pretty area that I'm sure neither you nor I could ever afford. Cute shops, eclectic feel and beautiful adobe houses that are probably close to $1 million. Oh we'll, a gal can dream......

Whether you are into contemporary, traditional or old southwestern art, Canyon Road has something for everyone. The staff at the galleries were all so helpful and knowledgeable. We ended up spending most of the day there including lunch at The Compound which was one of our favorites!

The galleries on Canyon Road have the most gorgeous art concentrated in a few easy blocks. . . bring your lottery winnings! On Friday evenings it is delightful to nibble your way through the different galleries, and there are some places where you can find things for less than $100. Stop at a local cafe for a glass of wine... More

Canyon Road has an incredible number of art galleries. The amount and quality of the sculptures was unbelievable. Start at the top (you can take a shuttle) and walk down to the bottom of the road. You will not be disappointed.

I got to Canyon Road in time for galleries to open one Saturday morning, finding ample on-street parking as I wandered the length of the road. Highpoints were the Michael Smith Gallery for exquisite baskets by Panamanian rainforest Indians, Southwest paintings by one established artist, local art photographs, Navajo rugs, and more in an elegant space. The owner and his... More

We had really enjoyed Canyon Road on our first trip to Santa Fe about 20 years ago. This time we were a little disappointed. The gallery owners and artists we talked to were very nice and interesting, but there was not much variety - mostly fine art and Indian pottery. It is a good area to take a leisurely stroll,... More

Your trip to Santa Fe should include a stroll up this road. Even if you can't afford that $10,000 painting! There is always so much to see here: galleries galore, great restaurants, shops, and my favorite: beautiful statues everywhere. And just the charm of the old adobe buildings.

When we decided to go to Canyon Road, We were not expecting the high standard of art. Every type of art imaginable is available on Canyon Road. We took the free Santa Fe shuttle to one end and then walked our way to the other end. It was amazing to view the many varied types of art, even if we... More

Gallery road extraordinaire: a long and winding road off the city center (about 15 minutes on foot from the historical plaza) with great galleries filled with superb works of art. Worth a visit.
