Itinerary
Meet your guide in front of Jelly Cafe; 600 East 13th Avenue, Pearl St, Denver, CO 80203, United States. Please do not enter the restaurant, it is only a meeting point and the staff is not informed about the tour.
Begin at the elegant Molly Brown House Museum, the former home of the Titanic survivor and social activist. Learn about her role in shaping Denver’s early 20th-century history as you admire the home’s Victorian architecture from the outside.
Next, stroll to the solemn Armenian Genocide Memorial Garden—a powerful and contemplative space nestled among the trees.
Just steps away, marvel at the golden dome of the Colorado State Capitol, a neoclassical masterpiece that mirrors the grandeur of Washington, D.C. Hear the story of how its steps mark exactly one mile above sea level, giving Denver its famous nickname.
Continue past the History Colorado Center, a striking modern structure that embodies the state's adventurous past and present. Nearby, admire the minimalist architecture of the Clyfford Still Museum and glimpse the Denver Art Museum’s futuristic design. Along the way, your guide will share stories of pioneers, leaders, and artists who helped shape the city.
Continue with your guide to the Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art, known for its bright yellow façade and impressive collection that reflects Colorado’s artistic legacy.
Then pass the Center for Colorado Women’s History, set in a beautifully preserved Victorian home. Hear about pioneering women who advanced civil rights and shaped Colorado’s identity.
Finish with a look at the historic U.S. Mint at Denver, a grand building that represents the city’s economic legacy.

About Denver
Denver, the Mile High City, is Colorado's capital on the plains at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, with museums, breweries and the Red Rocks amphitheatre.
Denver stands one mile above sea level on the high plains, with the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains filling the western horizon. It began as a gold-rush town in 1858 and grew with railways and mining. Union Station, a restored rail hall, anchors the lower downtown, and the Colorado State Capitol has a step on its west side marked as one mile above sea level.
Top-ranked sights in Denver: Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre, Larimer Square, Dairy Block.
