Denver is an amazingly diverse city, full of all sorts of experiences. Whether you’re into the arts, sports, outdoor activities, cultural experiences, dining or entertainment, Denver’s hidden attractions have a lot to offer you.

The obvious allure, in terms of outdoor activities in Denver, is the Rocky Mountains. The breathtaking view provided by the natural wonder of this mountain range can hardly be surpassed. However, if you’re looking for a more convenient and quick way to experience some green spaces and get away from the hustle and bustle of city life, Denver’s top parks are a wonderful alternative to a day trip into the Rockies. In fact, some of Denver’s top parks are just as breathtaking and enjoyable as a trip out of town.

Here are some of Denver’s top parks that you should consider visiting when you get the chance:

Denver’s Art Scene

Monday, October 4th, 2010 at 9:44pm. 477 Views, 0 Comments.

While you might not have guessed it back in the 1960s, today Denver is one of the most diverse and interesting artistic centers in the entire United States. Back then, there was only a single contemporary art gallery in the city, a rather disappointing thing since Denver is one of the largest cities in the Rocky Mountains.

Today, it’s an altogether different story, however. Today, there are plenty of small galleries located at various points throughout the city. On top of that, though, is the Museum of Contemporary Art. This is the cultural and artistic center of Denver in many ways. Here, you’ll find international works of art on the cutting edge, and the exhibits often receive national or even international attention.

It’s not just the Museum of…

Saturday, September 11th, 2010 at 4:13pm. 653 Views, 0 Comments.

In many ways, Denver is an all-natural outdoor utopia. Whether you’re into fishing, skiing, biking, hiking, rafting or almost any other outdoor sport, Denver is the place to do it. Denver’s also a great town when it comes to what is perhaps the outdoor sport that most lends itself to scenic views and natural terrain: golfing. In fact, some of Denver’s best golf courses are simply designed around natural obstacles, rather than cut into the land as is so common in many other areas.

If golf is your thing, then Denver is the place to be. Here are some of Denver’s best golf courses:

  • Overland Golf Course. Located at 1801 South Huron Street, this golf course is one of the oldest in the city. It’s earned its place among Denver’s best golf courses, in part, because…

Denver is one of the most historically rich cities in the entire nation. From the gold rush days through the present, Denver has made its mark on the Western landscape. There have been highs and lows, from ghost towns to economic booms, and the Centennial State has over and over again shown its resilience. Visiting historic Denver sites can give you a real feel for the spirit of this amazing city.

Where it All Began

If you really want to see historic Denver, you need to start in LoDo (lower downtown). This is the old center of Denver proper, and features a number of historical sites. You can even stay at one of the oldest hotels in the city, the Oxford Hotel, and visit the Oxford Cruise Room, which is Denver’s oldest bar.

Moving to any new city can be an exciting experience, but it can also be terrifying. When you arrive, you don’t know where anything is. You’re not sure where to get your essentials. Even eating out can be a challenge, because unless you go with a chain restaurant you’re not even really sure whether the food will be exquisite or exquisitely horrible. Denver is no exception to this rule.

So, if you’ve found yourself packing up and getting ready to make the trek to the Mile High City, here are some things you’ll want to know when you’re moving to Denver:

According to a list released by Bloomberg Businessweek, the city of Denver is the eight best city of new college graduates in the country. The list, which was based on factors such as the cost of living, average annual pay, unemployment rates and entry-level employers available in the area, consisted of a total of 30 different cities that are considered to be a good place for recent college grads to live.
