Denver is known as the Mile High City, not because marijuana is legal here, but because its elevation is 5,280 feet one mile above sea level.
Denver is Colorado s state capital and the most populous city in the state. Dotted with world-class museums, gorgeous public murals, and city parks, it s also a gateway to the Rocky Mountains. Denver is home to the second-largest performing arts center in the U.S., after Lincoln Center in New York, and is frequently cited as a top city for singles.
Sports fans can watch the Denver Broncos play football, the Colorado Rockies play baseball, or the Denver Nuggets play basketball. Prefer hockey or soccer? Check out the Colorado Avalanche or Denver Outlaws. Looking to get some exercise? Take a hike in the Rocky Mountains or hit the nearby ski slopes.
