16th Street Mall

Because of its identity as a "pedestrian" mall, the 16th Street Mall is walker-friendly with an abundance of trees and plazas. At only a mile long, it has plenty to occupy your day with — from outdoor cafés, shops, restaurants, and retail stores, to fantastic glass-lined skyscrapers and historic office buildings. Its promenade is beautifully adorned with red and gray granite, and it’s conveniently located in the center of Downtown Denver. In case you don't feel like walking, they offer a free gas-powered bus that takes you from one end to the other, giving you convenient access to its stores and eateries.

Shopping

The backdrop of stupendous mountain ranges only adds to the well-maintained and well-equipped shopping centers and districts of Denver. Many are incredibly walker- and biker-friendly, making the shopping experience not only a happy one but a healthy one as well. Try the high-end Cherry Creek Shopping District, with both indoor and outdoor options, and the 16th Street Mall, where you’ll find all of your favorite American brands. If a unique, local shopping experience is your thing, then check out the boutique shops at Larimer Square right in the heart of downtown Denver. You’ll find a range of high-quality and distinctive local designers offering clothing, accessories, jewelry, wine, chocolate, home goods, and salon and spa services.
