The Ultimate Denver Date Night Travel Guide

The Ultimate Denver Date Night Travel Guide

Vanessa Thorpe
Denver is one of the best cities to visit for a quick in and out date night or solo adventure. It's a short flight from many places in the US, the transportation set up in the downtown area is superb for tourists and there are so many things to do. I've been to Denver on several occasions but my favorite way to see Denver is on a quick date night with my husband staying at the magnificent Crawford Hotel in Union Station.

Have you ever wanted to stay inside a train station? No, well add it to your list because staying at the Crawford Hotel in Denver is a no brainer. The train goes straight there from the airport, the list of amenities are endless , there is literally not a hotel that is in a better location in Downtown Denver and oh... the ease and luxury of it all!

How to get there:

Denver has train that leaves from DEN airport and goes straight to The Crawford Hotel, it couldn't be easier. Simply buy your ticket, follow the signs at the airport, hop on and ride the train to the last ride. It can't get easier than that!

How to buy tickets

Download the RTD app and purchase a $10 ticket on the A Line.

Trains run every 15-30 minutes

Pro Tip: Even if you don't stay at the Crawford Hotel, catch the train to Union Station and walk or catch the free downtown shuttle to your accommodation.

Pikes Peak is magnificent any time of year. I went on a hot summer day and was transported to the top where I was met with snow capped peaks and snow covered terrain- all while it was 80 degrees in Denver below. If that's not amazing enough, a pit stop in the Garden of the Gods is sure to wow you!

BE A GOOD PERSON
@vangoestraveling
Stop by one of my favorite stores in Denver and purchase some "Be a good person swag"!
