Situated in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Denver is a beautiful city that's lauded by business travelers seeking top-notch convention facilities and delicious restaurants. Find the best Denver has to offer as you plan your trip.
Things to Do in Denver
You'll find spectacular dining options in downtown Denver, as well as the suburbs of Aurora and Littleton. One of the hottest new joints perfect for a business meeting is Element Kitchen, which has tons of shareable plates and excellent drinks. In Littleton, venture to the Damascus Grill for a taste of the Mediterranean, or go to the Bent Fork American Grill in Aurora for delectable twists on classic American food. Aurora is just minutes away from the airport and downtown Denver, while Littleton is a 30-mile hike.
If you're in town for a few days, and you need to get a run or a workout into your routine, head to Denver's City Park. This beautiful urban park offers miles of trails with panoramic views of the city, and if you're in the mood, swing by the Denver Zoo within the park, which is also one of the city's top attractions.
Traffic and Parking Information
Despite a vast, interconnected set of roadways throughout the city, Denver still suffers from extreme congestion. The only difference is that it's throughout the day, and not necessarily confined to rush hour. If you need to go from east to west or south, E-470 allows you to do it quickly, albeit with a toll. Otherwise, you're at the mercy of other motorists.
Most parking in Denver is on-street and metered. Parking meters take debit card, credit card, and cash at your convenience.
