If you've grown bored with your hometown, you must not live in the Mile High City. Colorado's capital is overflowing with features and attractions. An exhaustive listing of Denver activities would fill multiple books, but this list contains a few highlights to pique the interest of a first-time visitor.
No Mile High City breakfast is complete without a Denver omelet. This egg delight, filled with peppers, onions, ham and cheese, will provide an eager sightseer with plenty of energy for a day of exploring. Don't forget your sunglasses, because this is one of the sunniest cities in the U. S., with about 300 sunny days every year.
A stroll down the pedestrian mall on Sixteenth Street leads you right to the Capitol with its golden dome and thirteenth step, which is exactly one mile above sea level. It sits next to the Colorado History Museum, a great place to learn how the state was formed and about the gold miners who helped to form it.
If you are a lover of the arts, stop at the Denver Performing Arts Complex, home to ten performance arenas. There is an opera house, a concert hall, a ballroom and seven theatres. There's something for everyone's taste at DPAC.
Those who prefer sports to symphonies should check out the Mile High City's professional sports teams. There are eight of them. They include Major League Soccer's Rapids; Major League Lacrosse's Outlaws; National Basketball Association's Nuggets; National Hockey League's Avalanche; Major League Baseball's Rockies; National Football League's Broncos; Arena Football League's Crush; and National Lacrosse League's Mammoth.
Palate-pleasing restaurants are tucked between galleries and specialty shops at Larimer Square. This charming Victorian district is one of the city's epicenters of trendiness. It also showcases the Colorado sunsets beautifully.
When the sun goes down, the party starts. Wild Ivories Dueling Piano Saloon is a favorite night-time destination. Its witty improvisational musicians facing each other on the dueling pianos are masters of both keyboard and comedy. What's more, they include the audience in the act, leading raucous sing-a-longs into the wee morning hours. By last call, every patron has become part of the show.
Boredom in the Mile High City is almost an impossibility. For those who just want to relax, the city has more parks and more beer brewed than any other American city. No matter what your interests are, there is a wealth of Denver activities from which to choose, not the least of which is seeing how money is created at the Treasury Department's Mint.
