Traveling around Denver is quite easy, and it's a pedestrian friendly city too. Feel free to wander along the downtown area by foot, or you can hop on the free shuttle that runs along the 16th Street Mall. Denver has great light rail transportation, which connects the downtown area to the adjacent neighborhoods. Buses and taxis offer convenient modes of transportation as well. If you feel the need to rent a car, you won't find it too hard to navigate the streets of Denver, because the streets are laid out in a grid-like pattern. If you're flying into Denver, you'll probably land in Denver International Airport, the fourth busiest airport in the U.S. After arriving at the airport, you can take a shuttle or car to the downtown area, which should take less than a half an hour. Denver's public transit system, Regional Transportation District (RTD), hosts an airport bus service known as skyRide, which is another way to get from the airport to your destination.

The adventurous soul can partake in any number of activities including hiking, horseback riding, rafting, biking, or hot air balloon and helicopter rides. Museum enthusiasts can catch several cool exhibits this summer. Take a trip back in time with the "Jurassic Gardens" exhibit at the Denver Botanic Gardens. Head to the Denver Art Museum to live “The Psychedelic Experience,” which features rock and dance event posters from the '60s and '70s. Groovy! Denver has a great dining and nightlife scene with many trendy restaurants and enough options to please even the pickiest of palates.
