What To Do in Downtown Denver
This past weekend I headed to Denver for a family wedding, which was so beautiful! Ā I took my oldest daughter, and we had the best mommy/daughter girls trip seeing family and the beautiful union of my nephew and his bride. Ā I made sure that the weekend was a long one, so we could spend quality time hanging out with family after the wedding. Ā We spent a beautiful fall day in Downtown Denver, and the weather was so gorgeous and sunny in the high 60s. Ā I fell in love with the vibrant, walkable downtown area of Denver with yummy eatery and eclectic shops. Ā The last time I was in Downtown Denver I don’t remember it being this urban, cool gathering place of art galleries, boutiques and the best farm-to-table restaurants. Ā Perhaps I missed it, but I was truly impressed this last trip!
We started off in Downtown Denver walking around Larimar Square and checking out all the specialty boutiques. Ā Many of the shops have a distinctive fashion style from modern to bohemian to punk. Ā All the shops are housed in Victorian-style buildings and the street is lined with light strings that hang across the main road. Ā I hear the best time to visit is at night when the lights are on.
We did quite a bit of walking around Downtown Denver but these mules were so comfortable! Ā My feet did not hurt. Ā Truth is there is a lot of walk, so if you have sensitive feet wear comfortable shoes around Downtown Denver. Ā However, there is quite a bit of parking lots around the area. Ā After hanging out in Larimar, we walked up to Union Station, which is located in the heart of Downtown Denver. Ā Union Station is a renovated 100-year-old train station with chef-owned restaurants, a hotel and numerous boutiques. Ā I had the best homemade gingersnap and banana pudding ice cream at Milkbox Ice Creamery. Ā And my brother loved his vegan Oreo cookie ice cream. Ā You can play shuffle board, pool, chess or just read a book in the common area. Ā It a great place to gather with friends.
Our last stop was just a short walk up to the Dairy Block, another historic block with tastemaker restaurants, a chic hotel and quirky boutiques. Ā I loved the casual cafeteria style of eating with open communal tables. Ā The alley way is the perfect spot to snap a picture or play bean toss games.
Here are a few of my items I packed for my trip to Denver in the Fall.
