Daring Denver
Denver is the capital of Colorado and a peaceful US city that’s worth a look before flitting off to the state’s popular ski resorts. While the city has ties in the Old West, Denver isn’t afraid to go modern with some surprising new additions like the Science Pyramid of the Denver Botanic Gardens or the striking Denver Art Museum.
Craft breweries are one of Denver’s current obsessions, with countless choices if you’re into trying artisanal beers. Otherwise, explore the nightlife in RiNo or the cleverly converted Union Station.
