After calling Denver, CO for 5 years, I've accumulated a pretty large list of favorites in the city that I love recommending to visitors! While Denver doesn't have the same foodie recognition that many large cities do, there are some fantastic gems in the different neighborhoods that deserve more recognition!

Every kind of traveler can enjoy the experiences that Denver and the surrounding areas have to offer, but where to stay and what to eat are the foundation of any good trip! Take a look at the top 5 places to eat in Denver's RiNo, LoDo, Highlands and LoHi neighborhoods. In addition, ice cream is my love language. So, please enjoy a mini tour of the top ice cream spots in Denver. Finally, I have included a few dos and one don't of tourist activities at the end!

Wanting a weekend that is the best of both worlds? This itinerary will give you both a taste of the mountains and the city.
