You can spend weeks in Boulder and still not see and experience everything that is going on in its vibrant, quirky, lively, and exciting downtown. You might want to start with one of the tours, such as Local Table Tours, which are perfect for foodies. If you prefer exploring on your own, start with four blocks of outdoor Pearl Street Mall with its 150 boutiques, street musicians, splashing fountain, and all sorts of eateries.

If you are an art lover, visit the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, and the more than 20 galleries representing local artists. Boulder is a delight for foodies, and you can enjoy the food with the view from such rooftop spots as the West End Tavern or Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant. For more high-end dining, indulge at OAK at Fourteenth or Frasca Food & Wine. You will find music everywhere in downtown Boulder, from the street performers in Pearl Street Mall to musicians at The Laughing Goat or The Attic. Do not miss some of the best micro-breweries in the country, such as Mountain Sun.
