Destination & Attractions

Experience Denver Like A Local

Rooted in the 19th-century gold rush, this Old West capital has hit its stride with a buzzing food and arts scene, a plethora of parks, brewpubs and bike paths—plus professional baseball and football teams. And you can’t ignore the proximity of the towering Rockies, a heavenly escape for hiking, rafting, skiing and camping just a boulder’s throw away.

But it’s the neighborhoods that make Denver so distinct. Head to Five Points and River North (RiNo) for bars and galleries; Highlands and South Pearl for yummy dining; Cherry Creek for glam; the Golden Triangle for arts and theater; and our very own LoDo for its restaurants and nightlife. There’s something for every taste.

And whether you’re a foodie, outdoor explorer, art connoisseur, craft beer lover or something else, be sure to ask our resident Denver experts for specific recommendations on an itinerary that suits your interests--we live, work, play, and love Denver and are here to make sure you have the best experience possible.
