Railyard & Guadalupe District

The Railyard is Santa Fe's livelier, more modern district, with the best choice of breweries, live music and the farmers' market. It's comfortable on the main streets, and the thing to avoid is the rail trail after dark.

The Railyard is Santa Fe's most modern district, built around the old rail depot. It has a park, a cinema, a farmers' market on Saturdays and Tuesdays, contemporary art spaces, and a good run of restaurants and breweries. Guadalupe Street runs along its eastern edge and connects it to the Plaza in a ten-minute walk. Evenings are livelier than at the Plaza, with live music, beer gardens and patios, and the area is generally comfortable for a woman alone. The main caution is the rail trail and the stretch along the tracks, which are poorly lit and empty at night and have a history of muggings, so use the main streets instead. Some people experiencing homelessness spend time in and around the park and near a nearby shelter. They are usually peaceful, but stay aware of your surroundings after dark.
