Denver

Cradled at the foot of the beautiful Rocky Mountains, Denver, an outdoor city enjoying 300 days of sunshine per year, is becoming well known for its ever-growing number of cultural, dining and entertainment options, offering the type of amenities normally expected from much larger cities. Denver, known as the “mile high city”, offers the visitor the perfect blend of urban sophistication and outdoor activity. A city of neighbourhoods each with its own charm. It is easy to see why people fall in love with Denver.

Denver is a city of many cultures with a colourful history and there is no shortage of things to do. Visits to museums where you can trace the background of this centre of entertainment for the roughnecks in the gold rush days to modern day attractions such as the zoo, the world-class aquarium or the amusement park there is a wide spectrum of choice whatever your taste.

Visit the historic district of LoDo where there are numerous brewpubs and micro-breweries as well as fine dining opportunities. Enjoy the Cherry Creek Shopping District; explore the boutiques, galleries and restaurants in this vibrant downtown area. Alternatively spend a blissful afternoon being pampered in a state of the art spa, or enjoy a round of golf on one of Denver’s dramatic golf courses with lush green fairways.

Why not cycle through the city – a great way to explore the multitude of attractions whilst enjoying the great outdoors. Denver also boasts 200 parks within the city and 20,000 acres of parks in the nearby mountains, all great places for enjoying the open air – and Denver loves sport, fielding eight professional sports teams.

When visiting Colorado, Denver is a must, a modern cosmopolitan city, a contrast to the mountains and national parks and well worth including in your itinerary.
