Multi-city editor Jessalin here. 👋 I was born and raised in Denver and it’s genuinely one of the best cities to visit. Some quick tips for those who’ve never dealt with the altitude: Drink lots of water, wear sunscreen, take it easy on the substances until you acclimate, and pack chapstick.

Whether you’re looking for a mountain getaway or a hang in the city, Denver, Colorado has a little bit of everything for everyone.

Why go?
  • The Mile High City is nestled near the Rocky Mountains and has perfect access to skiing + hiking as well as a bustling arts and culture scene.
  • Explore the Denver Art Museum, which is one of the largest art museums between Chicago and the West Coast. It houses multiple global collections as well as modern and local art.
  • Or check out Meow Wolf, an exhibition featuring large-scale interactive and immersive art installations.
  • Catch a Broncos game at the Empower Field at Mile High, which also hosts big acts like Ed Sheeran and The Red Hot Chili Peppers.
  • For a concert experience you won’t forget, make the 30-minute drive to Red Rocks Amphitheater. Take a hike and then experience live outdoor music in the venue Billboard Magazine’s named the best-attended and top-grossing venue in the world for 2021.
