Welcome to Denver – the Mile High City – where a thriving arts and cultural scene, 300 days of sunshine, and the Rocky Mountain backdrop combine for the world’s most spectacular playground.

Denver is as laid-back as it is sophisticated. It’s a place where engineers rub elbows with rock climbers at local brewpubs, at art festivals, or while strolling along downtown’s 16th Street pedestrian mall.

Denver’s 16th Street is the heart of downtown. Hotels, restaurants, cafes, retail shops, movie theaters, a bowling alley, bars and brew pubs are compacted into a mile and a half pedestrian mall stretching through the city center. Free shuttles transport passengers the length of the mall.
