Denver transportation easily available

Downtown Denver is fairly easily negotiated on foot, with the occasional help of the very regular free buses that run for a mile up and down the 16th Street pedestrian mall at its heart (daily 6 a.m.-1 a.m.). RTD buses, with frequent services to Boulder, sports arenas and the airport, leave from the underground Market Street Station at Market and 16th streets.

 They are supplemented by a light rail tram line that runs five miles through downtown from I-25 and Broadway, across the 16th Street mall and up to Five Points in the northeast.

From June to September, you can also buy a hop-on, hop-off day pass on the Cultural Connection Trolley (every 30 minutes 9.30 a.m.-10 p.m.), which links Denver's main points of interest.

Numerous direct bus services run from Denver airport to many of Colorado's most popular resorts, making it unnecessary to have a car if you're based in just one place. Note that these should be booked as far in advance as possible.
