Popularly known as the Mile-High City, Denver has much to offer visitors. The city is the perfect jumping-off point for exploring the Rocky Mountains, which are less than an hour away. You can truly have the best of both worlds as you spend some days enjoying the amenities and attractions of the city and other days venturing out into the beautiful mountains. Interesting attractions in the city include the Denver Zoo, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, the Denver Botanic Gardens, the Denver Art Museum, Water World, the Downtown Aquarium, and Elitch Gardens Theme Park. The city has a strong local music scene as well as a particularly large number of craft beer producers, so fans of music and beer will be very happy here.
