Denver Travel Guide

Denver isn’t called “The Mile High City” for nothing. It got its nickname from the 13th step leading up to the State Capitol, which is precisely 5,280 feet above sea level.

Colorado’s capital might be best known for its ski resorts and breathtaking scenery, but visitors will discover just how much more the city has to offer. Surprisingly, Denver gets 300 days of sunshine a year; more than Miami. It embraces its cowboy past – William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) is buried just 30 minutes from the city, after all – its mining heritage and its great outdoors. But Denver is a cosmopolitan, artsy and cultural city too. Its Daniel Libeskind-designed Denver Art Museum is home to collections of African, American Indian, European and American, and Modern art, while the Museum of Contemporary Art focuses on art created since 1945. Lower Downtown, LoDo to the locals, is a lively, historic district with bars, restaurants, microbreweries and book shops.

The Rocky Mountains offer a majestic backdrop to the Denver landscape. They are the perfect setting for nature lovers taking cheap flights to Denver for the camping, hiking, bicycling, fishing and, of course, the skiing, in the ten national parks or 11 national forests on the city’s doorstep. Stand atop any one of Denver’s mountains and you’ll be able to see miles of breathtaking Colorado landscape.

With more than 11 million visitors booking Denver flights, accommodations, ski weekends and business conventions in the city, it’s no wonder the tourism industry in Denver continues to thrive.

Getting to and around the city of Denver

You can walk around downtown Denver easily or take public transportation. The 16th Street Mall has a free bus service running down the length of it. It stops every two blocks.

To get around Denver, its suburbs and outlying communities, like Boulder and Evergreen, you can take the Regional Transportation District (RTD). It offers bus and light-rail services and has free transfer tickets, but you’ll need exact change.

A great way to sightsee is hopping on the open-air Platte Valley Trolley, which has half-hour tours on its “Denver Sightseeing Route” in the warmer months.

If you’re heading out of town for the day, you’ll need to rent a car. Be mindful of driving conditions during winter; storms can make driving treacherous.

Tips for your stay in Denver

  • The Colorado State Capitol has murals depicting the history of water in the state on the walls of the first-floor rotunda. On the first floor, the west lobby hosts revolving temporary exhibits. When you stand on the 18th step of the State Capitol, you are 5,280 feet (one mile) above sea level.
  • Two museums of interest are Museo de las Americas, showing the artistic and cultural achievements of Latinos in the Americas, and the Colorado History Museum, with exhibits including Ancient Voices, a look at Colorado’s ancient peoples through artifacts and film, and Soldiers on Skis, the story of WWII soldiers who trained for battle in the Colorado Rockies.
  • One of the top five U.S. botanical gardens is here. The Denver Botanic Gardensare 23 acres of local, Australian, African, and Himalayan flora.
  • There are 80 different beers brewed in the Denver area. Coors Brewing Company offers free tours, with stops in the sampling areas. The tours are limited and conducted on a first-come first-served basis, so you may want to get there early. The brewery is in Golden, about 30 minutes from Denver.
  • When you ask for directions, people usually instruct you to “turn west off of” or “then go south” and so on. Just remember that everything is Denver is relative to the mountains, and that the mountains are west of the city.
  • For gifts to take back home, take a look at fossils. Fossils tend to cost less in Denver because they are more abundant here than in other places.

During the spring and fall you’ll be comfortable in T-shirts and jeans or shorts, a light fleece shirt and a rain jacket.  Summer clothing in town is pretty casual, so jeans, shorts, sundresses, hiking pants, a light jacket are acceptable, but if you’re heading to the high country to camp, bring warmer clothing. Coloradans are casual by nature, but if you are attending a concert downtown or eating at a fine dining restaurant such as Elways (http://www.elways.com/downtown), dress up a bit. Whether you are visiting museums, galleries, rafting, biking or hiking, comfortable footwear is essential. Due to Denver’s Mile-High altitude, sunglasses and sunscreen, especially in the mountains is a must.
