Day 1 |
More than 300 days of sunshine annually (more than San Diego or Miami Beach) earns Denver high marks with visitors and make sunglasses a must. For the city's most energetic shopping, dining and entertainment spots, point your compass in the direction of Larimer Square, the Tivoli, LoDo and the 16th Street Mall. Summer, fall, spring and winter, people crowd the street to window shop, in-line skate, ride in a horse-drawn carriage and bask in the fun.
If you believe that the color green has a calming effect, add a visit to some of the more than 200 city parks, the Denver Botanic Gardens or 70 golf courses. Another 20,000 acres of parks are in the nearby mountains. If your doctor ordered you to see a museum a day for a month, you'd be in luck. Between the Denver Art Museum, the Museum of Natural History and nearly 30 others, you'd be in terrific cultural shape. The Denver Performing Arts. Complex is one of the largest in the nation boasting eight theaters and more than 9,000 seats. It's not hard to find the pulse of the city's restaurant scene. Denver serves up more than 2,000 eateries and innumberable choices of cuisine, which include such delights as Rocky Mountain Trout, buffalo and Mexican and Southwestern fare. |
