Think of Denver and images of snowy peaks likely come to mind, but The Mile High City has much more to offer in addition to its picturesque backdrop. With a beautiful climate full of year-round sunshine, Denver is a vibrant outdoor city ripe for urban adventure. After a daytrip spent exploring the nearby Rocky Mountains skiing, hiking or biking, Denver’s award-winning culinary scene, local breweries and unique live music awaits.
This year, the Michelin Guide landed in Colorado, recognizing 26 outstanding restaurants in Denver. Farm-to-table fare and sustainability shine here, and with a diverse range of cuisines and flavours, there’s plenty to please every palate. Hop heads will have a field day with all of the local craft beer served in restaurants and breweries across the city.

Visit Denver
Just outside of Denver, Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre is a gorgeous, open-air concert venue built right into the mountains. Hike the surreal, red earthy landscape or catch a show. Back in the city, Denver’s art scene thrives with more live music, eye-catching murals and street art like the giant blue bear public art sculpture. Pay a visit to the Denver Art Museum to see its famous and moving Indigenous art collection.

Both a foodie mecca and a nature destination, Denver is a relaxed city with incredibly friendly people. It’s been recognized as a budget-friendly travel spot and for the city’s ongoing focus on sustainability. An easy, four-hour flight from Toronto, Denver offers the perfect mix of relaxing nature, urban adventure and indulgent flavours.
