Denver clean and green
Denver is a
clean,
young and green city with over 200 parks and dozens of
tree-lined boulevards. The architecture reflects the city's
three boom periods: Victorian, when silver
was
discovered in Leadville; turn-of-the-century, when gold was
discovered in Cripple Creek; and contemporary, when the
energy boom added 16 skyscrapers to the downtown skyline in
a three year period, 1980-1983.
Unlike some Western cities, Denver has a central downtown
area. Here, within easy walking distance, are 5,200 hotel
rooms, the city's convention complex, performing arts
complex, and a wide variety of shops, department stores,
restaurants, and nightspots. Also within easy walking
distance are some of the city's top attractions including
the U.S. Mint, Denver Art Museum and Colorado History
Museum.
A mile-long
pedestrian mall cuts through the heart of downtown Denver
and is surrounded by a series of parks and plazas that
soften the towering skyscrapers and provide viewpoints from
which to see and appreciate the modern architecture.

Lower Downtown (called "LoDo" by locals) is on the northern
edge of downtown Denver and offers one of the nation's
greatest concentrations of Victorian buildings and
warehouses, many of which have been refurbished to house
restaurants, art galleries, offices and shops. This is the
center of the city's brew pubs, with six large brew pubs and
micro breweries, each brewing six to eight exclusive beers,
all within easy walking distance of each other.
Six Flags Elitch Gardens moved to downtown Denver with a
year-round amusement park similar to Copenhagen's Tivoli
Gardens offering 48 thrill rides, formal gardens,
restaurants and shops. Also in downtown Denver is a new
50,000-seat stadium, Coors Field, for the Colorado Rockies,
Denver's Major League Baseball team.
The Mile High Trail is a series of six walking tours
throughout the downtown area. Copies can be obtained from
the Denver Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau Information
Center in the Tabor Center, located on the 16th Street Mall.
