Located a mile above sea level, Denver is more than just a gateway to the surrounding Rocky Mountains. A vibrant city in its own right, the grid-system cityscape is best explored on foot. Start with a trip to the Colorado State Capitol, which provides spectacular views of the mountains from its rotunda. The 16th Street pedestrian mall is the place to shop until you drop, after which you can hop on one of the city's free buses to explore the trendy Lower Downtown district. 'LoDo,' as it's called, boasts a number of breweries as well as popular Coors Field – home of Major League Baseball team the Colorado Rockies.
The popular City Park is the location of the famous Denver Zoo and is also home to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, which affords spectacular views over the city's downtown from its elevated position on the eastern fringe of the park.
