I don’t want to brag or anything, but Denver is a pretty stellar city. From our residents to our landscape to our frequent events and festivals, there is truly something for everyone to love about Denver, which helped the Mile High City become the coolest city in the west:

In some unsurprising news, Denver once again made Travel + Leisure's America’s Most Attractive Cities list, citing "The Mile-High City earns lofty scores for its beautiful locals, who don’t let their privileged location near the Rockies go to waste." (Hey, we don't make the news... just report it!)
