Welcome to Denver -- the Mile High City -- where a thriving arts and cultural scene, 300 days of sunshine, and the Rocky Mountain backdrop combine for the world's most spectacular playground. Denver is as laid-back as it is sophisticated. It's a place where engineers rub elbows with rock climbers at local brewpubs, at art festivals, or while strolling along downtown's 16th Street pedestrian mall. Free shuttles give visitors quick access to world-class art and culture, wine bars, restaurants, and nighttime entertainment and music in Larimer Square or historic LoDo. Upscale shopping awaits at Cherry Creek, while Denver's seven professional sports teams showcase this city's active spirit. Denver's 850 miles of paved biking and walking paths, the largest system of its kind in the country, connect visitors to unique attractions, parks and diverse neighborhoods.
