Moon Handbooks Santa Fe, Taos & Albuquerque Paperback – April 24, 2012

I left this book with a friend, I used to live in Albuquerque and its quite accurate except that it does not mention that every home, no matter how small, has a cyclone fence, 3 layers of barbed wire and a double wrap of razor wire. If you can get around the fence, Cujo is waiting for you. And everyone has bars on their windows. Albuquerque is full of homeless people and home to many criminals and addicts. They don't mention not to walk anywhere at night, and avoid downtown at all costs. Other than that the maps, restaurant and recreation sections are spot on.

We recently used this book for our trip to these three cities and found the information to be accurate and very useful for allocating the amount of time we wanted to spend in each and making the most out of our time there. It is up to date, readable, and hits almost all the high points. Although the accommodations listed are all fine, you will still need to check some other sources to assess additional options for accommodations in whatever price range you are interested in.

Wanted a guide book for Santa Fe that was recent and found the Moon guide to fit the bill. They had great recommendations on places to eat and the needed descriptions on where we wanted to go. The other great feature is that it's available in the Kindle version.

A lot of great information! One tip they gave - talk to the people who live there to get recommendations weHere to eat. Yes, do! But, Fodor's also gives great suggestions. Very helpful on where to stay.

Moon Handbooks consistently deliver quality guides on vacation destinations. Even more important, they find writers who do a great job of communicating their love of place. I wont' have time for Albuquerque, but the sections on Sante Fe and Taos are packed full of information and include info on lots of other sights in the immediate area.

Good information, only black and white pictures, and not very well produced. Moon is one of the most informative travel guides, but it needs to modernize the photography.

I was bit put off that the author appeared to be recommending visiting Santa Fe instead of Albuquerque, but aside from this bias it has helpful hints.

I have a second home in rural New Mexico. This is my go to book for my family and friends who visit. I must have 4 or 5 of these. Great resource

Das Buch ist zwar toll und sehr informativ aber ich finde es besser wenn alle Seiten in Farbe gewesen wären!
