SANTA FE, N.M. — Santa Fe is the fifth best city in the U.S. and Canada to visit – and also the fifth snobbiest, according to rankings created through surveys of Travel + Leisure’s readers.

“I was really surprised by that,” Steve Lewis, who handles public relations for the Santa Fe Visitors and Convention Bureau, said Tuesday of the “snobby” label. “I’ve been working with the (travel) press for over 20 years, and almost unanimously they say, ‘Gee, what a friendly town this is.’

“I’ve never had anybody tell me ‘what a snobby city’ this is.”

Among the 35 tourist cities included in the magazine’s survey, a result last year showed Santa Fe as the 12th friendliest city.
