Downtown Denver & LoDo
Denver, Colorado
About This Activity
Explore the heart of downtown Denver, anchored by the beautifully restored Union Station — a buzzing hub of restaurants, bars, and boutiques. Stroll the pedestrian-friendly 16th Street Mall, admire the Victorian facades of Larimer Square, and snap a photo with the iconic 40-foot Blue Bear sculpture at the Convention Center. Walk to Confluence Park where Cherry Creek meets the South Platte River, or catch a game at Coors Field. LoDo (Lower Downtown) is Denver's oldest neighborhood, and its craft brewpub scene is among the best in the country.
