The Mile High City — a vibrant outdoor city filled with urban sophistication. With 300 days of sunshine, diverse neighborhoods, a thriving arts and culture scene, chef-driven dining and exhilarating Rocky Mountain adventures, Denver offers affordable exploration in an uplifting, one-of-a-kind travel destination.

If you really want to explore Denver, delve into its diverse neighborhoods. The River North Art District (RiNo) is “where art is made,” riding a wave of urban revival with art galleries, craft breweries, restaurants and eye-popping street art on nearly every corner. Cherry Creek, just five minutes from downtown, is Denver's premier shopping neighborhood with everything from independently owned boutiques on 16 charming blocks in Cherry Creek North to popular upscale brands in Cherry Creek Shopping Center and the nearby Denver Botanic Gardens. Close to downtown is the trendy Highlands neighborhood with Victorian-era homes, hip restaurants, lush gardens, art galleries and a famous ice cream shop in a giant milk can, Little Man Ice Cream.

Denver is also a hub for chef-owned restaurants and was featured in Season 15 of Bravo's hit TV show "Top Chef." Stroll among the Victorian buildings and boutique shops of Larimer Square and take your pick of culinary talent, then indulge yourself with the many offerings from locally sourced products. Denver is at the forefront of the food hall revolution, including Avanti F&B, where seven rotating casual dining concepts share space with two craft bars and a patio with spectacular views of downtown; The Source, an artisan market housed in a former ironworks foundry; Zeppelin Station, with street food vendors, designer goods and apparel, and two cocktail bars; Denver Milk Market, featuring 16 culinary concepts run by acclaimed chef Frank Bonanno; and Denver Central Market, where visitors will find nearly a dozen providers serving everything from wood-fired pizza and charcuterie to fresh-baked breads and gourmet chocolates.
