Denver Quick Guide
Denver's unique character is enhanced by its Old West history and the dramatic "Rocky Mountain High" that John Denver sang about in his 70s folk-pop hit of the same name.
Visitors to the Mile-High City with a penchant for history shouldn't miss the restoration of turn-of-the-century buildings contained in 26 square blocks of Denver's historic Lower Downtown. Victorian structures that once served as warehouses and commercial structures have been painstakingly restored and now feature some of the city's most popular cafes, restaurants and nightspots in the area now known simply as "LoDo."
Denver's economy is driven by aerospace, computer software, financial services and telecommunications industries.
Denver is the capital of Colorado and is also a consolidated city and county. Navigating government offices can be daunting, but residents can easily get the help they need by calling the city's 311 service from a landline telephone. The city and county building is located at 1437 Bannock St., where you'll find the office of the mayor. The governor's office is located about half-mile east at 136 State Capitol.
