- Worth the detour
- Must see
Denver boasts an average of more than 300 days of sunshine and blue skies per year, which makes it a safe bet when it comes to the weather!
Even though Denver has two downtowns, you're never far from nature. With the Rocky Mountains as a backdrop, the city proudly represents the Old West.
COLORADO STATE CAPITOL
The Colorado Sate Capitol resembles the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. Why not start your visit to Denver by climbing the 93 steps up to the dome for a commanding view of the city? If you would like to learn more about the building, its heritage and the work of the Assembly, free guided tours are offered at 10 am, 11 am, noon and 1 pm, Monday-Friday. Arrive at least 20 minutes in advance, as the tours fill up quickly.
UNITED STATES MINT
There are 4 United States Mints, but this one produces half of the coins in circulation in the U.S.
The Denver Mint offers six free 45-minute guided tours every day where you can learn about the history of the U.S. Mint and how coins are produced. Arrive early to be sure of getting a ticket. Tickets are available at the Tour Information window located at the Gift Shop entrance gate on Cherokee Street.
DOWNTOWN AQUARIUM
A major theme for this aquarium is the aquatic life of American rivers. Tropical ecosystems are also represented. It's a great activity for the whole family.

Travel reviews
(Translated by Google) We loved visiting Denver, especially the History Colorado Center museum, which is amazing for both kids and adults. We saw a baseball game at Coors Field, great atmosphere. We didn't like the Capitol district due to the number of homeless people and addicts, best to avoid at dusk.
Nice town - good stop before the Rocky Mountains
(Translated by Google) Nice town.
2 days are enough to visit the essentials and take a Downtown hotel to be close to the main buildings.
24 hours is enough
(Translated by Google) It's not an interesting city in itself, but some points of interest that pass the time
