Denver Walking Tours Highlights
Colorado developed quickly because of the gold rush in the mountains, and consequently, Denver boomed as a railroad hub connecting important cities around the country. The origins of the city can be better understood with Denver Free Walking Tours or by looking at the Colorado State Capitol building. The whole dome was coated in 24 karat gold in 1908, commemorating the Colorado Gold Rush! Another important historical building you can visit with Free Tours in Denver is the Molly Brown House Museum. This wooden house was the home of American philanthropist, socialite and Titanic survivor Margaret Brown. At the Coors Field, you will also learn why Denver has played an important role in American sports, and is one of the few cities to have a professional football, basketball, baseball, and hockey team. Finally, do not miss the world art collection at Denver Art Museum, housing exhibitions of artists from all continents.
