Things to do in Denver

A good Denver day does not need a packed schedule. Choose a neighborhood, leave room for a meal, and build in time to enjoy your first stop. Our shortlist brings together city attractions and favorites around the metro area.

A day in Denver

Start with art or a food hall, then pick one dinner destination. Denver Art Museum and Denver Central Market make different starting points; choose the one that fits your interests instead of rushing between both. If golf is the priority, reserve your round first and plan the rest of the day around it.

Before you go

The Denver-area picks are spread out: Fox Hollow is in Lakewood, Riverdale Dunes is in Brighton, and Sierra is in Lone Tree. Check each location before setting your route. A brewery stop is best saved for after driving, with a designated driver or another ride arranged.
