With more than 300 shiny days a year, Denver is an ideal year-round destination that combines bustling urban life with significant Western heritage and a passion for the great outdoors. The center, which can be explored walking, has restaurants, breweries, professional sports, shopping options, family attractions, art, and culture. Denver is the main gateway to the best national parks in the western United States, including Mesa Verde, one of Colorado’s four national parks, as well as Yellowstone in Wyoming and Canyonlands in Utah. And best of all, you don’t even need to rent a car. The train helps with transportation from Denver International Airport to downtown. In the city, you can share bicycles and there are also many public transport options.

Downtown and Denver’s Neighborhoods

With a nice walkable downtown, Denver is filled with outdoor cafes, breweries, wine bars, shops, professional sports arenas, theaters, and museums. You can reach the different neighborhoods on foot or by bike, and cruise to the RiNo (River North) Art District, known for its urban food markets, and cozy music venues, and of course street art on every corner. Visit historic LoDo (the lower part of downtown) and visit the shops or restaurants in Larimer Square, where all those red brick buildings of the Victorian era will take you back in time! 

Without any question, you can find a shopping paradise in Cherry Creek North, home of a 16-block area of upscale shops, galleries, and restaurants, plus 160 stylish stores at the Cherry Creek Shopping Center. Immerse yourself in the city’s craft beer culture on the Denver Beer Trail and take a selfie with the Big Blue Bear sculpture, formally known as “I See What You Mean,” at the Colorado Convention Center. Grab a drink at Denver’s historic Union Station, where you’ll find an eclectic mix of local restaurants, bars, and shops under a single roof. Be sure to shop at the historic Rockmount Ranch Wear Store, where the denim shirt with snaps was invented!
