Denver, Colorado | What a fantastic destination spot.

While millions of people visit Denver each year for fun, those here on business trips might feel they have to settle for gazing longingly at the
Rockies. If your’re among the latter, consider yourself lucky. Even with only a few hours of spare time, there’s plenty to do once obligations are out of the way. From the great shopping on the16^th street mall to discovering some exceptional dining in the Lodo are of downtown the fun and excitement never stops in this bustling Rocky mountain city. There are tours of the U.S. Mint to consider as well as free tours of the majestic, gold domes State Capitol building while standing tall at one mile above sea level. In addtion visitirs can go to the Denver Art Museum (100 W. 14th AvenueParkway) and its new Frederic C. Hamilton Building.

The dizzying, titanium-paneled structure jutting over 13th Avenue was designed by renowned architect Daniel Libeskind and is as visually stimulating to walk through as is viewing the art on the wallsThe Denver Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau offers other ideas for walking tours on its Web site — http://www.denver.org. One suggests stops at the historic, triangular Brown Palace Hotel (321 17th St.), built in 1892, and the Denver Public Library, designed by Michael Graves. The library is right next to the art museum.

For the sports-minded, Denver has 14.5 miles of river water and miles of pedestrian and bike trails. You can rent cruiser bikes, kayaks and head-to-toe gear from Confluence Kayaks (1615 Platte St.), just 100 yards from Confluence Park on the South Platte River and the park’s manmade drops and chutes.

For the trendy and well-monied, visit Larimer Square (a short walk west of 16th Street) for boutique shopping, night spots and restaurants. People-watch at The Market (1445 Larimer St.) over coffee, dessert or a quick meal.The independent bookstore the Tattered Cover (16th and Wynkoop) has a sprawling newsstand, floors of books and its own cafe, making it ideal for passing time. Authors frequently pass through. Sen.
