Santa Fe Travel Guide

 barryg23 Says:  The Church and Convent of San Francisco is Santa Fe´s most impressive building. It was built in 1680 and contains a lovely old church and beautiful gardens. There is no entrance charge, though like the other museums in Santa Fe, a small donation of a couple of Pesos is... 

 barryg23 Says:  The name of the museum is a bit of a mouthful, but it basically tells the story of Santa Fe from the time the area was first inhabited, thousands of years ago, right up to the present day. We spent about 10 minutes with our Spanish dictionaries on the first three exhibit is,... 

 mindcrime Says:  As I was walking along the costanera after the lighthouse I noticed a wall full of graffities. I went closer to see because it’s a kind of art I like to see and I was surprised with the subject of the paintings. Every graffity on the wall has to do with women abuse (from... 

 mindcrime Says:  Like in Rosario, the first thing I did when I arrived at the city was to go down to waterfront and walk along the la costanera, the riverfront of Santa Fe along rio Parana. Here in Santa Fe everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) in the afternoon stroll up and down the riverfront,... 

 mindcrime Says:  I don’t have a car and in fact I hate them :) I like to walk in pedestrian streets but in Santa Fe I had the opportunity to take some photo of some interesting old models or some nice cute small mini cooper. It’s amazing what a tourist does when there’s nothing else to do in... 

 mindcrime Says:  I’ve noticed some colonial buildings in short distance of plaza 25 de Mayo but most of them were part of the neo parisian building boom in the 19th century. Nothing really special to see as you walk under the sun. I was too tired, I wanted a beer and La costanera was much... 

 mindcrime Says:  During the morning the locals come to San Martin street for shopping. It’s a pedestrian street in the center of the city and hopefully, I didn’t see any souvenir shop around (there are no tourists anyway). If you are interested in football tshirts though you can find almost... 

 barryg23 Says:  The historical museum is housed in one of the city´s oldest houses, a beautful building near the main square, Plaza 25 de Mayo. On display are portraits of the various governor´s of the town, as well as furniture and ornaments from the times when the house was inhabited. 

 Assenczo Says:  Visiting the monastery and the adjacent area is a must for somebody who wants to understand the roots of Santa Fe and why it developed the way it did. The monastery is one of the oldest buildings in the city, well renovated and surrounded "inside out" by glamorous...

 mindcrime Says:  Santa Fe is about 475km away from Buenos Aires and 170km from Rosario. There are buses from Buenos Aires (6hours) but I traveled there by bus from Rosario (2hours bus ride in a normal bus) and the day after I took the bus to Iguazu Falls (that was a looong bus ride). The bus...
