The museum is adjacent to City Park, so you can enjoy both in the same day. Be sure to take in the view from the west side of the building at sunset if you can! The mountains are the backdrop for downtown Denver, and then City Park is right in front of you.

Lots of restaurants, art (including graffiti murals), and urban culture. Denver Central Market is a food hall, and behind the building is a nice stretch of alley art. Modern Nomad is a great spot that houses ten local shops with home goods. RedlineArt is an art gallery with a social mission. Some favorite restaurants are Uchi, Super Mega Bien (Mexican food served dim sum style), Barcelona Wine Bar (tapas). There are 2 restaurants in a little complex constructed out of storage containers: Work & Class, Cart & Driver. If you go to Work & Class-they have the best butter scotch pudding!
