Denver

Denver, Colorado—often called the Mile High City because it sits exactly 5,280 feet above sea level—is a vibrant urban hub with the Rocky Mountains as its backdrop. Visitors can expect a seamless blend of outdoor adventure and cultural sophistication.

The city’s historic core, especially the LoDo (Lower Downtown) district, is filled with beautifully restored 19th-century buildings now housing craft breweries, eclectic restaurants, and boutique shops. Union Station serves as both a transit hub and a lively gathering space with cafés, bars, and a boutique hotel. Art and history lovers will appreciate museums like the Denver Art Museum, the History Colorado Center, and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, all offering rich and interactive experiences.

For outdoor enthusiasts, Denver provides immediate access to nature—city parks like Washington Park and City Park offer scenic walking and biking paths, while the Cherry Creek Trail runs through the heart of town. The mountains, just a short drive away, promise hiking, skiing, and mountain biking depending on the season. The city’s food scene is equally dynamic, with everything from farm-to-table dining to street food, along with a nationally celebrated craft beer culture. Local specialties such as green chili, bison burgers, and Palisade peach dishes capture Colorado’s culinary spirit.

Events like the National Western Stock Show and concerts at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre showcase Denver’s cultural heartbeat.

With over 300 days of sunshine a year, a friendly atmosphere, and a laid-back yet active lifestyle, Denver offers visitors an experience that balances big-city energy with the call of the mountains.
