Denver Shopping


The most prominent feature of Denver shopping is Denver’s 16th Street Mall, an outdoor pedestrian shopping promenade over a mile long and connecting downtown Denver with LoDo, Denver’s trendy Lower Downtown district. The free shuttle that runs the shopping mile, lined with boutiques, restaurants and galleries, is a mobile bonus for Denver shoppers. Just south of downtown Denver, Cherry Creek is one of Denver’s most affluent neighborhoods (and also has Denver’s historic "Little Italy") and is home to some of Denver’s most well heeled shopping, boutiques and galleries. An up and coming shopping district in Denver, Colfax Avenue, once lined with manicured mansions in Denver’s mining heydays, now boasts hip local boutiques and a flock of new Denver restaurants. For those looking for rugged Western fashion, Denver boasts many Western wear outlets, including the famous Rockmount Ranch Wear and Sat’n Spurs for denim (yes, denim) wedding gowns.

16th St Mall

Between Market St. & Broadway, Denver CO
Denver's first foray into tourism-fueled commerce is part of the revitalization of this busy pedestrian shopping mall lined with hotels, restaurants, bars, day spas and music stores.

Cherry Creek North Business District

2960 E 2nd Ave., Denver CO
This Denver shopping district is a Rodeo Drive version with a diverse, multifunctional shopping and entertainment. Hip restaurants and chi-chi boutiques attract a see-and-be-seen crowd, but there are plenty of casual shops and Birkenstock-friendly cafes as well. The monthly Art Walk gallery tour brings out the artsy crowd who indulges in window-shopping and long, cafe conversations.

Denver Pavilions

500 16th St., Denver CO
This Denver shopping area is good for entertaining out-of-towners or perfect for a quick shop and hop lunch hour. Three levels of shops and street performers attract Denver shoppers in search of fashion and fulfillment.
