Is New Mexico safe for tourists?
Tourist areas as a rule are safe, but, despite recent reports of decreases in violent crime in Santa Fe, it would be wise to check with the tourist offices in Santa Fe, Taos, and Albuquerque if you are in doubt about which neighborhoods are safe.
Is Santa Fe Safe?
With a crime rate of 37 per one thousand residents, Santa Fe has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes – from the smallest towns to the very largest cities.
Is Albuquerque worth visiting?
It is a lovely place, there is a lot to see in terms of history, and there is easy access to other landmarks in northern New Mexico such as Bandelier, Taos and Chimayo. However, with all due respect to CasaAzul’s bias, Albuquerque is not “just a city,” and has a great deal to offer.
Is it better to visit Albuquerque or Santa Fe?
I would not consider Santa Fe a ‘better’ city than Albuquerque… each city has its virtues. Santa Fe is a more beautiful city in the southwestern tradition. Albuquerque is a more affordable option both for residents and travelers (Check out my post on things to do in Historic Old Town Albuquerque).
