Looking for a spot with a great view? Try these.
Look at it from the west, and Denver ’s skyline promises the urban buzz of an active city. From the east, the Rocky Mountains provide a stunning backdrop for the buildings of downtown. Even from the north and south, the Mile High City’s skyline shines.
True, cranes sometimes mar the perfect shot, and leafy trees often obscure the complete picture. The hilly geography of Denver can also impede visibility just blocks from a spot with a clear sightline. Still, if you keep looking, you'll find a great view. Although Denver’s skyline largely shot up in the 1980s, new buildings are again in the works or just completed, like, which is attracting eyeballs with its canyon cutout. Meanwhile, some of those older structures constructed with different materials and shapes — including octagons at 1801 California Street, and the Wells Fargo Building with its iconic “cash register” top — are now iconic landmarks.
This food hall at the edge of Highland has multiple patios from which you can check out Denver’s skyline and appreciate downtown's growing density. Coors Field sits in the foreground, and beyond it to the right are seemingly endless layers of tall buildings that make Denver look like a true big city. You can see everything from the new buildings behind Union Station to the old faithfuls at the top of the Central Business District.
The view of the skyline from Broadway and Speer Boulevard is a stunner, but you could also be stunned by a fender bender if you stop to enjoy the sights. Fortunately, just a few blocks north is the Fainting Goat, a local watering hole with a rooftop that's a good place to grab a drink and a look at the downtown skyline. Although cranes now obscure some of the view, you get a real feel for where Denver's been...and where it's going.
