Denver Colorado Travel Guide

Known as The Mile High City, Denver, Colorado has a lot to crow about. Denver’s metro population is two and a half million residents, and it naturally has a great deal to offer visitors in its varied neighborhoods featuring unique Denver, Colorado hotels; some buildings date back to gold rush days of the 1850’s.

Denver is incredibly visitor-friendly! Its downtown area has been named the fourth most walkable downtown in the U.S. by the Brookings Institution. Choosing from the Denver, CO hotels downtown will guarantee a great many things to do. The Lower Downtown, or LoDo, features galleries, brewpubs, restaurants and shops and has been the focus of revitalization with wonderful effects. Larimer Square has been restored to its Victorian past, with beautiful streets and homes.

As the biggest city for over 600 miles around, many visitors use the Denver International Airport (DEN) to reach the cultural focus of the Rocky Mountain States, and then rent a car to explore local attractions. The Denver Art Museum features art from around the world and has particularly splendid exhibits of Native American art. The Children’s Museum of Denver offer interactive fun for the kids. The U.S. Mint tour is free and it’s best to make a reservation ahead of time to guarantee your spot. Elitch Gardens, a combination theme park and waterpark, offers exciting rides and superstar concerts.

                     Spend some time outdoors and see a concert at amazing Red Rocks Amphitheatre in the mountains, or perhaps a Broncos football game at Mile High Stadium is more your style. Choosing one of our discount hotels near the stadium just makes sense! Tour the Coors Brewery and have a tasty beverage. Browse Cherry Creek North Shopping District’s upscale boutiques and galleries, then stop for a cup of coffee, some gelato or a plate of pasta at one of the various eateries. You can spend all day here!

The view from the State Capitol Building showcases the Rocky Mountains which rise to the city’s west. Informal free tours allow visitors to climb to the top of the capitol and take in the view, both of the bustling Denver downtown and the beautiful landscape surrounding the city. You may be surprised at the incredible natural views you can experience in many downtown Denver discount hotels, and planning ahead may surprise you with a price you didn’t expect. We hope the tools on our OneTravelSource.com City Guide are of great value in this planning stage.
