Lokalne wskazówki
- Drink plenty of water. The high altitude and dry climate can cause dehydration and altitude sickness. Avoid heavy alcohol consumption on your first day.
- Always carry layers. Denver's weather can change rapidly, especially in the mountains. A sunny 75°F (24°C) afternoon can turn into a chilly evening.
- Use the free 16th Street MallRide bus to navigate downtown. It runs frequently along the pedestrian mall from Union Station to Civic Center Station.
