And wow, does the Mile-High City offer plenty of reasons for visiting. It’s a fast-paced, fast-growing city, offering <\/strong>great food, a lively arts scene, super shopping<\/a>, and on the doorstep to some outstanding natural areas.

 <\/p>\n

Union Station<\/strong> \u2013 you\u2019re looking at one of Denver\u2019s most iconic buildings. It might be a dining and shopping hub, so take it all in while you dine on the cuisine.<\/p>\n

Denver Art Museum<\/strong> \u2013 Two stunning buildings, over 60,000 art objects from across the world. You could spend hours here! And most likely will.<\/p>\n

Denver Botanic Gardens<\/strong> \u2013 If you\u2019re looking for a little piece of nature to escape the city, then this is the place to come. 23 acres, 45 different gardens, there\u2019s plenty here to see and smell here.<\/p>\n

Clyfford Still Museum<\/strong> \u2013 Into your abstract art, then a visit here is a must do. It\u2019s a place that promotes the late artists\u2019 work and legacy. You\u2019ll have over 2000 pieces to enjoy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Denver<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget out of town<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I must mention several attractions outside of downtown! None more so than Red Rocks Amphitheatre, oh, and some place called Rocky Mountain National Park! Denver is your base, and the Rockies are the playground. Hundreds of miles of trails to explore, nature to see. It\u2019s blooming good in every sense.<\/p>\n

With regards to the Red Rock, everyone from the Rolling Stones, The Beatles to Jimi Hendrix have raved about this venue. If you can catch a gig here, then it\u2019ll make your Denver stay even more memorable. Note it down. America\u2019s best amphitheatre is right there in Denver.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It may be a mile high, but it\u2019ll be you floating a mile high after touring around this dynamic, exciting city. Time to put Denver on your wish list.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
