Downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods offer an abundance of retail experiences, making Denver the shopping capital of the Rocky Mountain West. You won’t be able to make it to every mall, outlet center or independent boutique in a single day – but if you’re in the mood for a weekend-long spending spree, this itinerary will highlight some of the areas you should hit. Have your credit card at the ready – you’re going to need it!
Grab a latté and do a little window shopping in Larimer Square, on Larimer Street, between 14th and 15th. This historic district epitomizes urban style and sophistication - if you're on the hunt for tomorrow's trends, you'll find them here, either in the shops or on the locals who hang out in the square. What began as Denver's first city block is today one of the city's most chic fashion districts. More than 200 fashion lines from the runways of New York, London, Paris and Milan are on display. From handcrafted jewelry to chic bags, to shoes that let you step out in style, you'll find clothing and accessories from designers including Ted Baker, J. Lindeberg, True Religion, Morphine Generation, Tracy Reese and Vivienne Tam.
As you reach the end of Larimer Square, you'll encounter a sight sure to quicken the pulse of any dedicated shopper: the 16th Street Mall, the sprawling 16-block, I.M. Pei-designed pedestrian mall that stands as Metro Denver's No. 1 tourist attraction. It's easy to see why: 16th Street is packed with restaurants, cafes, public art - and of course, a cornucopia of shopping options, including Denver Pavilions (500 16th St.). Multi-leveled booksellers, expansive brand-name stores, quaint gift shops and more all make their home here. Just start strolling (or hop on the free shuttle that runs the length of the mall) and you're sure to find something to your liking in no time.
This retail "Basecamp" right in the heart of downtown offers a number of outdoor-related brands like Danner, Topo Designs, Thule and Foreign Rider, plus other brands like Scarpaetto and Aether. Refuel at Milk Tea People or Water Grill.
Tired yet? We didn't think so — because you haven't made it to Cherry Creek yet. To call the combination of Cherry Creek North and Cherry Creek Shopping Center simply a shopping district doesn't quite do it justice. It's more of a shopping experience.
