2 days in Denver Itinerary

Aptly nicknamed the "Mile-High City," Denver sits at an altitude of 1,600 m (5,280 ft) above sea level, located right where the Great Plains give way to the Rocky Mountains.

Start off your visit on the 5th (Mon): look and learn at Denver Museum of Nature & Science, learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Denver Zoo, then take in nature's colorful creations at Denver Botanic Gardens, and finally take in the architecture and atmosphere at Trinity United Methodist Church. Here are some ideas for day two: steep yourself in history at Denver Union Station and then explore the striking landscape at Flatirons.
