 City pedestrian mall |
16th Street Denver, CO 80202 United States +1 303 534 6161 http://www.downtowndenver.com/... |
The mall is a mile-long, tree-lined promenade stretching through the heart of downtown. Bustling with street vendors, souvenir shops, clothing and jewelry stores, and a plethora of bars and restaurants, this energetic strip offers plenty of variety. The Denver Pavilions, at the entrance of the mall, is a new open air-shopping plaza filled with trendy chains, including the Denver edition of the Hard Rock Café. The D & F Tower, a 325-foot replica of St. Mark's campanile in Venice, graces the center of the mall. The Tabor Center adds to the shopping enthusiasm. Free shuttles provide transportation up and down the mall, allowing for convenient cross-town sightseeing. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Extensive Native American Art Collection |
100 W. 14th Ave. Parkway Denver, CO 80204 United States +1 720 865 5000 http://www.denverartmuseum.org/ |
This five-floor museum is wonderfully diverse and is at the forefront in offering new exhibits. In the past it has featured impressionist artists as well as the work of Winslow Homer. This museum brags— and rightfully so— about housing the largest art collection between Kansas City and the West Coast. Its Native American art collection, which encompasses an entire floor, is not to be missed. In addition, 2006 heralded the dedication of a new wing of the museum. Designed by Daniel Libeskind, the Frederic C. Hamilton building adds to the already stunning architecture of the cityscape, and has become a popular attraction for museum visitors.

Ride the mountain train |
1701 Wynkoop Street Denver, CO 80248 United States +1 303 296 4754 http://www.skitrain.com |
For 63 years this train has been a Denver tradition. Departing from Denver's historic Union Station, the two-hour ride crosses under the continental divide, passes through 28 tunnels, and provides unmatched mountain scenery as it winds into the high country and drops riders off within 100 feet of the Winter Park ski lift. Riders can choose between the economical coach car or the more expensive club car. The train runs every weekend during the winter, and on a limited basis during the summer. Most trips sell out in advance so reservations are highly recommended. Winter fares: Adults USD45; kids (13 and under) USD20. Tickets: Coach $40, Club $65. Review © 2007, Wcities |
