16th St · Denver, CO
Why you should go…
Long known as the 16th Street Mall, this mile-long downtown promenade reopened in 2025 after a three-year rebuild that widened the walkways and rerouted the free MallRide shuttle down the center. Shops, restaurants, and street performers line the route between Union Station and the Capitol. It's the connective spine most Denver visitors end up walking at some point.
