Denver sits where the High Plains meet the Rocky Mountain foothills. In Lower Downtown, Union Station and Coors Field are close together. Pick RiNo for murals and dinner, or the Golden Triangle to walk to the major art museums.
Lower Downtown, often called LoDo, runs from Union Station toward Coors Field. The station is the terminus of the airport A Line and a hub for other RTD routes. Stay around Wynkoop Street or the 16th Street corridor if you arrive by rail or have a ballgame or a downtown meeting. Event nights get busy.
North of downtown, the River North Art District (RiNo) has murals, galleries and breweries around Larimer and Brighton streets. Five Points lies nearby with its own music and cultural history. The A Line stops at 38th and Blake, but RiNo covers a wide area. Check how far the hotel is from that stop before counting on an easy airport trip.
The Golden Triangle holds the Denver Art Museum, Clyfford Still Museum and History Colorado Center beside Civic Center Park. Capitol Hill extends east from the State Capitol. Cherry Creek North and the shopping center are farther southeast. Their restaurants and shops make for a different kind of stay, and you usually need a drive or a bus to reach Union Station.
City Park has the Denver Museum of Nature & Science and Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance. Denver Botanic Gardens sit south of the park near Cheesman Park. Summer days are often hot with afternoon storms; winter can alternate sunshine with snow. Pack for the season and keep foothill or mountain trips separate from a walkable downtown itinerary. Red Rocks Amphitheatre is a separate trip west to Morrison, not a downtown walk.
Stay around Wynkoop Street for the A Line, downtown restaurants and a walk to Coors Field. Union Station is the stop for airport and regional rail. Baseball and concert nights bring crowds to the nearby blocks.
Around here: Denver Union Station, Coors Field, Wynkoop Street
RiNo murals and galleries spread along Larimer, Walnut and Brighton streets. The 38th and Blake A Line station is useful on the northern side, but many hotels are not beside it. Choose this area for evening dining and art rather than a short walk to the Golden Triangle museums.
Around here: Larimer Street, 38th and Blake Station, Five Points
The Denver Art Museum and Clyfford Still Museum sit near Civic Center Park, with the State Capitol just east. Stay here for museum days and civic events. Union Station is farther away, so check bus routes or allow for a longer walk with luggage.
Around here: Denver Art Museum, Clyfford Still Museum, Colorado State Capitol
Cherry Creek North boutiques and the shopping center anchor this southeast district, and the Botanic Gardens are nearby. It is less walkable than LoDo. Plan on a car or rideshare to reach airport rail or a ballgame.
Around here: Cherry Creek North, Cherry Creek Shopping Center, Denver Botanic Gardens
The Denver Zoo and the Museum of Nature & Science share City Park, one large green space. Uptown’s 17th Avenue dining corridor is closer to downtown. Families on museum days do well here, but check the exact address before counting on a walk to either park or Union Station.
Around here: City Park, Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance, Denver Museum of Nature & Science
Late spring and early fall bring comfortable city-walking days, though Denver weather can shift quickly. July has hot afternoons and an elevated chance of thunderstorms. Winter has cold nights and occasional snow, even when skies clear by day. Spring can also bring snow, so check the forecast before a foothill outing.
Denver International Airport is northeast of the city. RTD’s A Line runs from the airport station at the terminal to Union Station in about 37 minutes. Amtrak also serves Union Station, while I-25 and I-70 are the main road approaches.
23 mi from downtown
Take the RTD A Line to Union Station for LoDo and downtown. Use an onward bus, rail connection or rideshare for Cherry Creek and districts away from the A Line.
LoDo if you will use transit, since several routes meet at Union Station. Cherry Creek has a shopping district and restaurants. Pick by where you will spend your weekdays.
Yes, from a central hotel near Union Station or an RTD stop. Regular trips to Cherry Creek or foothill trailheads can take extra transfers.
