Once seen as the domain of cowboys and oilmen, today the
mile-high metropolis is a cosmopolitan mix of natural beauty and world-class
hotels, entertainment and attractions. The Denver Art Museum houses one of the
finest collections of American Indian art in the world. The city is also the
official home of four national teams: the Broncos, Nuggets, Rockies and
Avalanche, meaning every season is sports season. Even with all the big town
glitz, Denver has managed to maintain its earthiness. Outdoor recreation is
still a major draw. With 205 parks in city limits and 20,000 acres of parks in
the nearby mountains, there is ample opportunity for hiking, biking, mountain
climbing and more. Families visiting Denver won't know where to begin. The Zoo,
the Children's Museum and the Botanic Gardens offer hours of entertainment. Or
pop by the United States Mint for a free tour. To prove that Denver really is
"The Mile High City," head to the State Capitol. There's a spot on the
west steps of the building that is exactly 5,280 feet above sea level.

Denver Taqueria Patzcuaro is an unsung gem of a joint
dishing up authentic Mexican fare in a no-frills atmosphere. Located in north
Denver in a stretch of town bursting with Mexican bakeries, shops and cafes Patzcuaro
is a local favorite for a casual and inexpensive taste. Seat yourself at this
unpretentious spot serving lunch and dinner, and complimentary chips and salsa
are served as soon as you sit down. An entire wall is lined with the menacing
faces of Mexican revolutionaries. But don't let the staring eyes distress you.
You know you're far from the ultra-Americanized Taco Bell when the menu offers
dishes such as taco cabeza (beef cheek meat), chuletas a la Mexicana (pork
chops swimming in a spicy chile) and pescado a la Mexican (fish filet cooked
with olive oil, tomato, onion and jalapeno). Still, timid diners can find
safety in familiar burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas and more. The Bull
& Bush Pub and Brewery, Denver's Bull & Bush mirrors Britain's best
pubs, down to its cozy furnishings and characteristic memorabilia. Guests revel
in the comfortable, dim interior as well as in the microwbrews, which flow
freely and are apt complements to authentic plates of fish and chips. Multiple
televisions keep visitors abreast of the latest happenings in the sports arena,
and well-prepared pub fare keeps them sustained when the competition grows
keen.
Attractions among the recommended attractions are Denver
Art Museum, known for its wide range of Native American art, this museum also
contains the only major Asian art collection in the Rocky Mountains.The Denver

and scholarly programs.
