Denver really is a Mile High, but most people don’t even notice the altitude difference. The air is just thinner and dryer. It’s best to follow these tips to stay happy and healthy.
There are many options to and from DEN, including taxis, Uber, Lyft and the A Line commuter rail. At a cost of $10.00 one-way, the A Line train departs the airport regularly and drops at Union Station in the heart of downtown. The 23-mile ride takes approximately 37 minutes. Learn more about the airport rail.
The 16th Street Mall Ride is a free shuttle that operates seven days a week ferrying riders from Denver Union Station to Civic Center. Due to ongoing construction, the buses are temporarily re-routed to 15th and 17th Streets, but the start and end points remain the same. For assistance, stop by Visit Denver’s information desk inside Union Station. More info can be found on RTD’s Free MallRide's website.
Rentable via mobile apps, e-bikes and e-scooters are a fun and eco-friendly way to explore the city. Ride in designated bike lanes or on streets with speed limits under 35 MPH.
Denver is a welcoming, safe, and inclusive city. As with any large metropolitan area, staying aware and prepared is always smart:
