Overview
Denver, Colorado, a vibrant and rapidly growing metropolis, is an inland city that serves as a gateway to the stunning Rocky Mountains. It is not a cruise port, but a destination in its own right, offering an incredible blend of urban culture and accessible outdoor adventure. With a backdrop of snow-capped peaks, Denver's landscape is as dynamic as its thriving arts scene, culinary innovation, and craft beer culture.
A visit to Denver is a unique opportunity to explore a city that seamlessly integrates natural beauty with a lively, modern urban core. Whether you're catching a concert at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre, exploring a world-class museum, or enjoying a local brew in a bustling neighborhood, Denver offers an experience that is both exhilarating and refreshing.
Start your day at the majestic Denver Union Station, a beautifully restored 1914 Beaux-Arts terminal that now serves as a lively transportation, dining, and retail hub. From here, explore the historic Lower Downtown (LoDo) area, which is filled with turn-of-the-century warehouses converted into trendy restaurants, bars, and boutiques
Tip: Grab a coffee or a quick bite at one of Union Station's artisan eateries, and take a free ride on the 16th Street Mall shuttle for easy access to the Civic Center area.
Visit the Colorado State Capitol building to stand on the step marked exactly one mile (5,280 feet) above sea level and for a beautiful view of the city and mountains. The building's dome is plated in real gold. Afterwards, stroll through the adjacent Civic Center Park.
Tip: Check for free public tours of the Capitol building, which often include access to the dome for the best views.
Denver offers several excellent cultural institutions. Spend time at the architecturally stunning Denver Art Museum (DAM), known for its extensive collection of Western American and Indigenous art, or delve into the state's past at the History Colorado Center
Tip: If modern or immersive art is your preference, consider visiting the unique, interactive art experience at Meow Wolf Denver | Convergence Station (requires pre-booked tickets).
Explore the River North Art District (RiNo), known as "where art is made." This trendy neighborhood is defined by its colorful, large-scale street art and murals that cover nearly every building, alongside numerous craft breweries and food halls.
Tip: RiNo is an ideal spot to grab lunch from a diverse food hall like Denver Central Market and sample a craft beer from one of the local breweries.

Denver has a vibrant culinary scene. Instead of a formal dinner, explore one of the city's popular food halls (like Avanti F&B or Denver Central Market) for a variety of local, chef-driven concepts, or embrace the city's famous beer culture by visiting a local brewery for a tasting flight.
Tip: Many breweries offer quick tours or insights into their brewing process, reflecting Colorado's passion for craft beer.
