Question 2

Is Denver walkable?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Denver is walkable in the core. You can cover Union Station, the 16th Street Mall, Civic Center, and the art and history museums on foot, with short hops between LoDo, the Golden Triangle, and RiNo.

Use RTD’s Free MallRide along 16th Street, the A Line to Denver Airport, and light rail lines like W to Golden and E or H for stops south of downtown. Buses such as the frequent 15/15L on Colfax reach the Capitol, the Denver Art Museum, and east-side sights. For comfort or for day trips to places like Red Rocks or Boulder, consider a private tour in Denver with private transportation.
