In fact, Denver is among the biggest party cities in the U.S. and one of the craft beer capitals in the country. In addition, thanks to the diverse local crowd, Denver’s restaurant scene offers top-notch options from various world cuisines.

If you’re looking for a more quiet time during your stay, head to one of the many unique museums in town such as the Denver Art Museum, the Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Arts, or the Molly Brown House Museum. Craving a feast to the eyes and some fresh air? Check out the spectacular Denver Botanic Gardens.

How to Get Around Denver

Once you arrive in Denver, there are lots of different options for getting around the city.

Public Transit
Public transportation in Denver is convenient, cheap, and easy to use. The trains, buses, and light rail connect passengers to all the city’s major attractions, in addition to further-flung neighborhoods, cities, and the airport.

Prices vary by mode of transit and your final destination. You can buy your tickets for public transportation at an RTD ticket vending machine (available at most stations) or on the RTD app. Bus fares can be purchased on board, but you will need to have exact change in cash. You could also pre-load a MyRide card, or buy a ticket book for either six or ten rides if you plan on using public transit often while in Denver.

Rideshare Apps & Taxis
Both taxis and rideshare apps are popular options for getting around in Denver. Metro Taxi and Yellow Cab are reputable taxi services that offer door-to-door service. You can try to hail a cab, but the easiest way to hitch a ride is by calling ahead and scheduling your trip. Lyft and Uber both operate in Denver, as well.

Walking
While Denver is considered a large metropolis, it’s actually surprisingly walkable. If you want to save a few bucks on transportation, you can use your own two feet to get from point A to B. The downtown area is especially pedestrian-friendly, and most of the major attractions are within walking distance of one another.

Rental Cars
Of course, if you prefer to explore even further around the city, you can always rent a car in Denver through Wanderu. Most major rental car agencies have locations at both the airport and the downtown area.

Must-See Places in Denver

Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre
Seeing a show at Red Rocks is a rite of passage for every Denverite. Even if you’re just visiting, checking out this park and open-air venue should still be at the top of your list. If you didn’t get tickets for the weekly show, you can hike around the red sandstone cliffs, visit the Colorado Music Hall of Fame, or attend one of the other fun events hosted at Red Rocks.

Larimer Square
Larimer Square was the original Denver city center, and it is still a hub of entertainment today. You’ll find architecture dating back to the Civil War era, along with boutiques, cafes, art galleries, and tons of bars and restaurants. Larimer Square is a great place to get a feel for what Denver is all about, especially if you’re interested in the city’s nightlife!

Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Arts
The kooky Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Arts is the perfect bad-weather activity in Denver (but don’t let good weather keep you from visiting either). This museum is one of Denver’s finest, featuring collections of decorative art from the 1880s through 1980. One of the highlights is the retrospective from Vance Kirkland, a Colorado native and one of the most important painters of the 20th century.

Union Station
Sure, you can catch a train at Denver’s Union Station, but there are plenty of other reasons to visit this iconic Denver spot. The century-old station has been newly renovated and features fun eateries, bars, and shops. There’s even a seasonal farmers market, upscale hotel and an Orient Express-style cocktail bar - need we say more?

16th Street
See why Denver is one of Colorado’s best destinations at 16th Street, a pedestrian-only promenade lined with trees, benches, and string lights. You can shop till you drop at the plethora of boutiques along this mile-and-a-half strip, or park yourself at one of the cafes and bars and partake in some good old-fashioned people-watching.

Denver Tips for Travelers

There are a few Denver-specific norms that visitors may not be familiar with.

  • Don’t be alarmed if you see people smoking marijuana out in the open. Colorado was one of the first states to legalize recreational use of marijuana back in 2012, so smoking is a big part of the Denver culture. You must be 21 or older to buy and use marijuana in all of its forms.

  • Most of the country prohibits the consumption of alcohol on the street and while driving. Denver is no exception, so only imbibe in bars, restaurants, or at home. You will likely be asked to show ID at bars and liquor stores if you look younger than 30.

  • Denver is known as the “Mile High City.” The high elevation may take a while to get used to, so take it easy on strenuous activity for the first few days if you can. The high elevation also means that you are closer to the sun, so layer on the sunscreen - especially in the summer!
