Larimer Square - Denver
Photo by  Q K 

Located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Denver is a vibrant city with a rich history and culture. Known for its scenic beauty, friendly locals, and thriving arts and music scenes, Denver has something for everyone. In this guide, we’ll explore the top attractions, food and drinks, shopping, accommodation, and transportation options in Denver.

History and Culture in Denver

Denver has a rich history and culture that make it one of the most interesting cities in the United States. Founded in 1858 during the Pike’s Peak Gold Rush, Denver quickly became a hub for miners, settlers, and entrepreneurs seeking their fortunes in the Old West.

The city has come a long way since those early days, and its growth and development are reflected in its architecture and landmarks. One of the most iconic of these is the Colorado State Capitol, which boasts stunning architecture and offers panoramic views of the city from its dome. The Capitol’s interior is equally impressive, with marble floors, soaring ceilings, and intricate murals.

Denver’s history is also celebrated in numerous museums and galleries. The Denver Art Museum houses an impressive collection of American Indian and Western art, while the Molly Brown House Museum offers a glimpse into the life of Titanic survivor and socialite Margaret Brown. The Black American West Museum and Heritage Center is another must-visit destination, which celebrates the often-overlooked contributions of African Americans to the settling of the West.

But Denver’s culture is more than just its history. The city is also known for its thriving arts and music scenes. The Denver Performing Arts Complex is the second-largest performing arts center in the world, hosting a wide range of theater, dance, and music performances throughout the year. The Red Rocks Amphitheatre, located just outside the city, is a natural amphitheater that has hosted some of the biggest names in music since the 1940s.

Top Attractions

Denver is a city full of top attractions that will make your visit truly memorable. Here are some of the most popular and must-see attractions in the Mile High City:

  • Denver Botanic Gardens: This 24-acre oasis in the heart of the city boasts a stunning collection of plants from around the world. Visitors can stroll through themed gardens, see outdoor art exhibits, and attend seasonal events.
  • Union Station: This beautifully restored historic train station is now a hub of activity, featuring top-notch restaurants, bars, and shops. It’s also the starting point for the Denver Microbrew Tour, a popular walking tour of some of the city’s best craft breweries.
  • Denver Zoo: Home to over 4,000 animals from 600 species, the Denver Zoo is a must-visit for animal lovers of all ages. Highlights include the Predator Ridge exhibit, the Tropical Discovery rainforest exhibit, and the interactive Giraffe Encounter.
  • Coors Field: Catching a game at this iconic baseball stadium is a must-do for sports fans. Located in the heart of the LoDo (Lower Downtown) neighborhood, Coors Field offers stunning views of the Rocky Mountains and an energetic atmosphere.
  • Mount Evans Scenic Byway: A drive along this scenic byway is a truly unforgettable experience. The highest paved road in North America, it takes visitors up to the summit of Mount Evans, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.
  • Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre: Located just outside of Denver, this natural amphitheater is renowned for its stunning acoustics and has hosted some of the biggest names in music since the 1940s. The park itself also offers numerous hiking trails and picnic areas.

  • Farm-to-Table: Denver’s emphasis on local, sustainable food has made it a haven for farm-to-table restaurants. One of the most popular is Mercantile Dining & Provision, which sources ingredients from local farms and offers a seasonal menu that changes frequently. Other popular farm-to-table options include Root Down and The Kitchen.

Some of the best options include Safta, which serves up modern Israeli cuisine, Sushi Den, which offers some of the best sushi in the city, and Rioja, which serves up delicious Spanish-inspired dishes.
  • Food Halls: If you’re looking for a more casual dining experience, Denver’s food halls are a great option. The Denver Central Market is a popular destination for foodies, with vendors offering everything from fresh seafood to artisanal ice cream. Other great food halls include Avanti Food & Beverage and Zeppelin Station.
