15 Best Things To Do in Denver, Colorado

Being just a single mile above sea level, Denver is called the Mile High City. But that’s not the only thing worth mentioning about this beautiful city. The Rocky Mountains provide a scenically majestic backdrop to Denver, while the High Plains cover the city on its eastern side.

Apart from its natural beauty, Denver also holds fame for its 150,000 square foot Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum, which has something of interest for visitors of all ages.

Another iconic museum in the city is the Molly Brown House Museum, which is dedicated to the survivor of the Titanic sinking who lived to tell the story of the legendary cruise. Since she was already an activist before the tragedy, the museum offers a lot of information about her works and life.
