  • Three Day Denver Itinerary
    THREE DAYS IN DENVER, COLORADO Discover Denver, The Mile High City Denver, Colorado is a walkable, outdoor city with 300 days of sunshine, brilliant blue skies and breathtaking mountain scenery. Founded in 1858 as a gold mining camp, Denver is located at the base of the majestic Rocky Mountains, 5,280 feet (1,609 meters) above sea level – exactly one mile high. Denver offers urban adventures for all ages, spring, summer, fall or winter. Explore The Mile High City without ever needing a car. Getting into the city center is easy with direct rail service from Denver International Airport to Denver Union Station. The 37- minute trip costs $10.50 each way. Day One: Sightseeing & Shopping in Downtown Denver • 16th Street Mall: Built in 1982, the 16th Street Mall is a mile-long pedestrian promenade that runs through the center of downtown and is lined with outdoor cafes and retail shops. Free shuttle buses cruise the Mall and stop at every intersection so it’s easy to cover a lot of ground in a short period of time. The official Denver Tourist Information Center is located off 16th Street at 1575 California St. http://www.denver.org/things-to-do/denver-attractions/16th-street-mall/ • I See What You Mean "The Big Blue Bear": Created by Denver-based artist Lawrence Argent, this delightful 40-foot (12-meter) sculpture, peers curiously into the Colorado Convention Center. Take a photo or two of this Only-In-Denver icon – he looks good from all angles. http://www.denver.org/things-to-do/denver-arts-culture/denver-blue-bear-artist/ • Shopping at the Denver Pavilions: This outdoor entertainment and shopping destination is located on the 16th Street Mall in the heart of downtown Denver.
