Welcome to Denver
Whether you know it as the Queen City of the West or the Mile-High City, Denver is a delightful place to visit for business or pleasure. As the capital and biggest metropolis in the Rocky Mountains region, it's a mecca for industry and culture, serving as home to a thriving arts scene, an array of exciting annual festivals and a variety of diverse neighborhoods surrounding the vibrant downtown area. Keep in mind that getting around generally requires a car, since the public transit system can be spotty and unreliable.
Denver's breathtaking vistas are one aspect that attracts visitors. The landscapes are filled with majestic mountains only 12 miles away and lush greenery laid out alongside tranquil rivers and lakes. Despite the heavy snowfall during winter, the city has a dry and temperate climate year-round, and it's a particularly sunny locale - there are on average 300 days of sunshine annually. These conditions make for a variety of delightful outdoor adventures, from hiking the peaks to skiing the slopes.
