The region, originally inhabited by Sioux, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Apache and Ute, was explored by Spanish expeditions in the 16th century and claimed colony by the Spanish crown in 1706. In 1803, the United States finally acquired the territory.

The first white settlement in Denver was founded in 1858 during the Pikes Peak Gold Rush. A few months later, General William Larimer, a land speculator, founded a settlement on the outskirts of the mining town of Auraria, which he honored, in honor of the territorial governor of Kansas, James W. Denver - the name "Denver City."

In 1861, Denver City was incorporated into the newly established Colorado Territory and Arapahoe County. From 1861 to 1902 the city was the administrative seat of Arapahoe County, and in 1865 it became the capital of the Colorado Territory. At the same time she was given her current name "Denver". She also earned her rank in the capital when Colorado gained the rank of state in 1876.

In 1890, Denver grew to become the second largest American city west of Omaha, but in 1900 was overtaken by San Francisco and Los Angeles.

In the 1970s, Denver was chosen as the venue for the 1976 Winter Olympics, but in a referendum, Colorado voters rejected that decision. The games were finally held in Innsbruck. This is the only case in history in which the location decision of the Olympic Committee was rejected by the citizens of the chosen location.

the 39,8582-104,67333 Denver International Airport         (IATA: the) is the largest airport in the country, with an area of 137 km². In terms of passenger numbers, Denver is the sixth largest airport in the United States and the largest in the Rocky Mountains region. Denver is served by direct flights from Frankfurt and Munich (Lufthansa) as well as from almost all major US airports every day. Most of the flights are operated by United Airlines and its regional subsidiary United Express, as well as by the two low-cost airlines Frontier Airlines and Southwest Airlines, which each have a hub here. The main terminal is worth a visit because of its distinctive, tent-like construction. It also houses the largest art exhibition (DIA), which is shown at an American airport (free).

Denver International Airport is just outside the city. The city center is 22 miles away. The A Line provides a railway connection between the airport and the Union Station in the city center (35-40 minutes journey, every 15 minutes, a ticket costs $9). RTD skyRide buses also connect it directly to Downtown Denver, Boulder and other destinations in the region.

by train

The Amtrak railway company operates the California Zephyr line (Emeryville/CA - Salt Lake City - Denver - Omaha - Chicago), which runs once a day in each direction. From Omaha you can travel for about 9 hours, from Salt Lake City about 15 hours, from Chicago about 18 hours, from Emeryville (near San Francisco) 32 and a half hours. There are also sleeping cars. In any case you should book as early as possible, otherwise the tickets are extremely expensive.

the 39,753662-105.0007412 Union Station       is located on the northern edge of the city center. It is connected to numerous city and regional bus lines. There is a RTD Light Rail stop 250 meters away. The free shuttle buses of the Mallride line run from the Union Station on 16th Street through the immediate city center to the Civic Center Station near the state capital. During peak hours (morning and afternoon) on weekdays, there is also a free line Metrorides, which runs along 18th and 19th Street, and ends at Civic Center Station. There is also a bicycle rental station on the station front square.

By bus

Denver and the suburb of Aurora form important hubs on the bus network of the Greyhound bus company, which can be reached directly from many major cities. From Albuquerque to Denver, for example, it takes about 8½ hours, from Salt Lake City 10½ hours, from Kansas City between 11 and 11 ½ hours.

The central 39.750538-104.991496 3Denver Bus Center is located on 19th Street (between Arapahoe and Curtis Street) in the heart of the city. There is another bus stop at the Union Station.

A daily ticket for all RTD means of transport in the city area costs $5.20 if you want to go to the surrounding area or the airport, $9.

Denver is considered one of the most bike-friendly cities in the USA. There is a public bicycle rental system called B-cycle with 88 stations and around 700 bicycles (as of June 2017). For $9, you can take as many short trips as you like in a day (24 hours) of up to 30 minutes. So every time you stop the ride, you should drop the wheel at a station and then rent it again.

Denver is an eldorado for lovers of haute cuisine and regional American cuisine, as well as for friends of fancy ethnic cuisine. Mexican restaurants abound in Colorado. However, attention is also paid to local chains specializing in ethnic food, such as B. Tokyo Joe's or Falafel King. Take time to study the telephone book or relevant WWW pages.

While high-quality restaurants are found mainly in downtown and Capitol Hill, the large outdoor districts of Denver are often as cheap as they are good and interesting to eat.

Highland is considered the best district of Denver to eat. The district’s business center is located in the area of Lowell Blvd and 32nd Ave. The area has a wide range of restaurants offering either ethnic or innovative cuisine.
