Denver is one of the fastest-growing major cities in the United States and is the capital and most populous municipality of the U.S. state of Colorado. Denver is just east of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. Denver is nicknamed the Mile High City because its official elevation is exactly one mile (5280 feet or 1609.3 meters) above sea level, making it the highest major city in the United States.
With an estimated population of 693,060 in 2016, Denver is the 19th-most populous U.S. city, with a 15.48% increase since the 2010 United States Census. In 2016, Denver was named the best place to live in the United States by U.S. News & World Report.
Economy
The Denver MSA has a gross metropolitan product of $157.6 billion in 2010, making it the 18th largest metro economy in the United States. Denver's economy is based partially on its geographic position and its connection to some of the country's major transportation systems. Because Denver is the largest city within 500 miles (800 km), it has become a natural location for storage and distribution of goods and services to the Mountain States, Southwest states, as well as all western states. Another benefit for distribution is that Denver is nearly equidistant from large cities of the Midwest, such as Chicago and St. Louis and some large cities of the West Coast, such as Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Denver's position near the mineral-rich Rocky Mountains encouraged mining and energy companies to spring up in the area. In the early days of the city, gold and silver booms and busts played a large role in the city's economic success. In the 1970s and early 1980s, the energy crisis in America and resulting high oil prices created an energy boom in Denver captured in the soap opera Dynasty. Denver was built up considerably during this time with the construction of many new downtown skyscrapers. When the price of oil dropped from $34 a barrel in 1981 to $9 a barrel in 1986, the Denver economy also dropped, leaving almost 15,000 oil industry workers in the area unemployed (including former mayor and current governor John Hickenlooper, a former geologist), and the nation's highest office vacancy rate (30%). The industry has recovered and the region has 700 employed petroleum engineers.[86] Advances in hydraulic fracturing have made the DJ Basin of Colorado into an accessible and lucrative oil play. Energy and mining are still important in Denver's economy today, with companies such as EnCana, Halliburton, Smith International, Rio Tinto Group, Newmont Mining, Noble Energy, and Anadarko headquartered or having significant operations.
Sports
Denver is home to a variety of sports teams and is one of the U.S. cities with teams from four major sports (the Denver metro area is the smallest metropolitan area to have a team in all four major sports). The Denver Broncos of the National Football League have drawn crowds of over 70,000 since their origins in the early 1960s, and continue to draw fans today to their current home Sports Authority Field at Mile High. The Broncos have sold out every home game (except for strike-replacement games) since 1970. The Broncos have advanced to eight Super Bowls and won back-to-back titles in 1997 and 1998, and won again in 2015.
Culture
Because of its proximity to the mountains and generally sunny weather, Denver has gained a reputation as being a very active, outdoor-oriented city. Many Denver residents spend the weekends in the mountains; skiing in the winter and hiking, climbing, kayaking, and camping in the summer.
Denver and surrounding cities are home to a large number of local and national breweries. Many of the region's restaurants have on-site breweries, and some larger brewers offer tours, including Coors and New Belgium Brewing Company. The city also welcomes visitors from around the world when it hosts the annual Great American Beer Festival each fall.

As weird as it sounds, i'm from the UK and Colorado is my favourite state and Denver my favourite city. When I visit the US this will be the first place.
Great choice!
@@sagew7377 Thanks!
Not weird at all. I just moved here and the vibe, the people are amazing.
@@shondell322 Thanks for the re-assurance with that one. Just self-consciousness I suppose.
Really? That sounds awesome. Can't wait to visit here some day.
Colorado is nice
They got a California street...we got Colorado street here in California.
Yeah. There are lots of state street names here
Our California street is so, crazy
Streets named after other states, countries, cities, etc are everywhere. In every large city. You should get out more...
Pasadena, where you at??
I noticed the same thing myself on that as well’
Denver born and raised. I lived there for my entire 18 years until leaving for college. Next time if possible visit during the spring/summer when the grass is green and the trees have leaves, it looks much less dreary and bleak. I suppose the same could be said for any city however. Regardless, great video.
Yeah, Denver will always be home 💗
The 'grass' is always green in Colorado ;>)
Can someone explain to me why do US students tend to study in different states? I mean wouldn't it be cheaper if you are from Colorado to study in Denver? Is it because of scholarships or just because there are better universities in other states?
Bloody Honor Exactly those reasons, I study at North Carolina State University because it has cheaper tuition than if I were to go out-of-state, but my brother on the other hand left for Connecticut to study at Yale University because he managed to receive scholarship money.
Idk man I hate winter and Denver is still awesome during the winter
As a teenager, downtown Denver was my stomping grounds. I know those streets like the back of my hand
You rode a horse?
@@universalconquest4447 Do you know how to drive? Drive this up your boot hole.
@Jack Millerwhy
@@universalconquest4447 It's a figure of speech. "Stomping grounds" just indicates that Mario has a native-like experience of Denver. Also, maybe he was popular enough to stomp on Denver, lol.
I visited Denver 2 years ago and it's absolutely beautiful
Weather is very nice and dry with much outdoor activities 🍀🌹👍🌻
@@muradiye100 Too dry...
Currently away from home for a few months and I've been feeling a little homesick and watching this definitely helped out.
29:19 The most beautiful part of Denver ever!!!!!!!! So shiny and kinda silverish!!!!! So beautiful that i just want to cry right now!!!😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢🏛🏛🏛🏛🏛🏛🏛🏛🏛🏛🏛🏛🏛🏛🏛🏛🏛🏛🏛🏛🏛🏛🏛🏛🏛🏛🏧🏧🏧🏧🏧🏧🏧🏧🏧🏧🏧🏧🏧🏦🏦🏦🏦🏦🏦🏦🏦🏦🏦🏦🏦🏦🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇
ok chill-
made me want to shit.
impressive skyline from afar....interesting fact about Denver, it's the biggest metro area within a 500 mile radius.
I always felt like the Denver skyline was underrated
And yes, it is definitely the big metro outpost in the area.
Denver my favorite city
Hello from Oklahoma
Denver ahhh yes I remember driving into the town on my way up North
Went almost to Utah..
Visited the town Golden it was so beautiful... Visted the Coors plant and, took the tour it was awesome
So beautiful inside the stillery you could smell the beer cooking from outside 🍺🍺🍻🍺
Beautiful place and, You can't taste no fresher beer anywhere else than the plant.. Yes Colorado is a beautiful place in deed Thank you.. amazing view of the town...Bless you...
I used to live above the Bob's Atomic Burger building across the street from Coors. I miss Golden so much
It was brilliant how they angled the street grid in Denver. It's not straight north-south east-west. Everybody wants a west facing window though to see the mountains.
Actually, it's only off-center in the downtown area. The rest of the city is a perfect N-S-E-W grid...
One of the best cities I've ever lived in. Denver is such an awesome place!
ewwwwwwwwwww

Denver feels like a Canadian city in my opinion lol but this city is no doubt underrated.
FuryC Minnesotian cities look more Canadian
That makes sense! I enjoyed it - Will definitely have to visit in the summer next!
FuryC Denver is pretty similar to Calgary
No Name i agree!
FuryC not to mention
Colorado is pretty similar to Alberta too
Very similar!
Thanks for upload this nice clip.
It helps a lot to my wife who have homesick.
Thanx man
I'm in China right now and this is a great America simulator.
Are you back in America ??
@@Ianthesportsguy91 He knows Burke. It was a joke.
It's not a good 'Murica simulator if it doesn't have school shootings, private health care, and things are measured in burgers per freeom.
For what ? You wanna plan an attack on the USA? 😂
@@JoseSanchez0795
Well that’s really offensive
Best graphics I've ever seen.
Don't hear to much about Denver,that's why I was curious what the city looked like
What a Beautiful city love to go and see it, next time i go again to the states! 😍😍😍
Thank you for this wonderful tour of Denver. I love it.
_I am Brazilian from Minas Gerais, this city of Denver seems to be great to live in. It must have a good quality of life!_ 🙂
Depends on how much money one has
Clean, nice traffic, big buildings, large streets, interesting
I used to live in Denver! Thanks for this nice video!
I love Denver. I used to live there back in 2009. It was the first city I have moved in to at 19 years old. I got my first job as a pastry chef at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. It was a rough job and my supervisor was a mean Frenchman. I did made a few friends there at my job but still the atmosphere there was rough. It wasn’t until summer of 2010 that I really had the best time of my life there. One day I’ll return to visit all the places are used to eat and hang out at during my time in this incredible city.
I’m happy you had a good time in my city. Summer of 2010 I was going into middle school haha
Fabulous video Jutah ty to share. Very good weather in february in denver
I lived in Colorado for 33 years and I just moved to Nashville. Thanks for the terrific video on how great Denver is. Cheers!
DisposableJustice why’d you move?
@@lashercollette88 moved with my dad because his brother is here and had Parkinson's. Plus it's cheaper than Denver
i lived in Denver 5 years back,beautiful medium lifestyle city, surrounded by beautiful mountains, specially in fall and winter it look stunning,
when i watched this video i could memorize my past.
Almost heaven;
Wes... wait wrong state.
Thanks for leading a good journey.for anyone who has never been there.
I will be out that way in September, Thanks for posting, gives me an idea what to expect.
لم أرى اجمل وأفضل من مدن أمريكا بالعالم كله من حيث البناء والترتيب والأجواء والتنظيم وغير ذلك
your videos are great. they're just to the point and no annoying narration!!!!! :)
beautiful city ......👌👌
Not really but Colorado is an awesome state
Don't judge a book by its cover
Ok but don't come pls stay where u r Abu 🧑🏿👳🏿♂️
@@jonimaar__2023 racist
@@jonimaar__2023 he is a hindu not a muslim
Great. Thanks 😍😍😍
Glad you enjoyed it!
I wish they still had ESPN Zone and Nike Town. Miss those places
Thank you so much for making this. Not only am I reliving memories, but I'm writing an urban fantasy I plan to set in Denver, so this really helped. :D
Any updates on your story? I always love stories that are set in Denver
Colorful Colorado :) Nice video J :)
i like your video very much. i feel homesick now. thank you for the tour of what used to be my city
My friend Tom told me that this is the best place he had ever visited
Tom hasn't gone many places then
@@australianpatriot Well, for many people around the world a place like Denver would be considered paradise.
I love Denver ❤❤❤
Denver has the best weather winter cold summer warm and cold
Absolutely gorgeous! And look at that sky.
I’ve lived in Colorado my entire life (22 years) and I still get awestruck by the sky on a weekly basis
you always great man keep up
Thank you Ayman!
Beautiful Denver
Thank you for this video. I live in San Francisco and try to visit Denver once a year. I love that city
@Coloredspaces
You are a traveling man!
Rarely a dull moment!
But is he playing in a travelin' band?
I've driven almost this exact same route before. Wow.
I'm a big fan of your work. Thanks.
siempre veo estos videos para buscar un lugar donde ir de vacaciones, es genial
Cool ride around Denver, hope I get to visit it someday.
This video does NO justice to the traffic and congestion that is overrunning this city. Lifelong resident, and I don't even recognize it anymore. But the tail-gater at 22:42 gives you a pretty good indication of what it's like pretty much everywhere you go. :(
You call that tailgating? You should see what these crazy old people and meth heads do down here in Florida. Especially during snowbird season
I would never see this city with my real eyes, i wish i could travel to see more of this beautifull world...
Why not.. I was just there was weekend
os estados unidos são muito bonito organizado quem dera se o brasil fosse assim também
Hermoso Colorado 🇺🇸❤️️
Beautiful
I can just feel it. This is my home
Looks pretty cool and chill.
WOW Thank you
Hello my friend wow amazing nice place
Love this city. My wife and I got married in CO. Denver has a special place in our hearts
About to move here, and I’m excited 😊!
Have you moved there how is it? I am coming out there in Mid July.
KnuckleHead yea I love it!! So many good food places and very cultural atmosphere...while a lot has opened up some things that I’m interested in like museums and libraries are still closed :(
@@taylorsimone3499 Good to know! I will be out there by July 12th.
Hey J Utah I'm new member in your channel your videos are insane & impressive good work 👏
I’m 22 and I feel stuck where I live and this is one of the places I’ve been thinking about moving to for a fresh start
Same here im stuck between Colorado and ohio. . any suggestions ?
Harold Brock
Alaska is so expensive though
@@takariiyoung5555 Colorado is extremly crowded now and prices are very high, ohio is probably cheaper
Great video !
i was waiting to see the union station neighborhood, and wow, its growing.
Its impressive! A lot of new development going up around LODO and the Ballpark area.
@@jutah lol you sound like someone who lives here! Did your research on the neighborhoods?
I like your videos very much. No irritating music as soundtrack, just the sounds of the streets. Thanks for sharing and posting these marvellous videos, I can travel through U.S. cities without spending a dime. I really loved Denver, it seems a good city to live. Just one question that really makes me scratch my head, where are the cyclists riding their bikes? I could barely see one at 15:55 and that's all..... I wonder if bicycles are permitted on Denver's streets?
Love Denver!
Beautiful City ❤👌
Born and raised here, moved to SoCal few years ago. Gosh I miss home.
I have lived here in Colorado for 13 years basically all my life and even though sometimes it might seem dull it is a very interesting city that took care of me and gave me memories that I won’t forget.
c h e r r y Anyone who thinks shit doesn’t go down in Denver has never lived in Denver
Love this!
Very nice 👍. Nice down town drive.
Nice looking city, lot of one way streets.
Cidade linda!
I lived there for one year and left. I don't miss the weather there.
Hows the weather in Colorado?
Just another American city. Not much special about it. But I love Colorado.
it used to be special before all of the demolition of victorian buildings in the 1900s
@@farmyardflavours Thats so true. Before the 50s, Colorado cities and American cities in general used to be so unique and vibrant with Art-Deco and Victorian style buildings. Unfortunately most of them had been torn down by their owners and basically undid their cities by reducing them to a parking lot. Really unfortunate
My favorite city
I need to film in the summer time!
Born and raised so many years ago in lakewood, colorado: Alameda, relatively close to colorado springs, and a good place (a few miles from Denver) to get a coffee enema.
Que de souvenirs en revoyant cette fantastique cité visité durant 08/2016 ,Yeeeah!!!
This is my 2nd home after India...I luv Denver
Big fan of your work. I've been waiting for this video. I live just northeast of Denver, outside Boulder. Did you get a chance to check Boulder out? I really enjoyed your New York City series and always look forward to your work. Thanks a bunch!
Glad you enjoy the videos :D I missed Boulder on this past visit. Ill make it a point to visit that area next time! Thanks for your feedback on the channel. Many more videos on the way!
I lived in Denver Colorado all my life
Same I'm about to move to Utah and I'm gonna miss Colorado so much
Muy lindo Denver, espero vivir ahí un día no muy lejano ;)
I love this
My home city .. I miss it ..
I love the population of Denver, is has enough people so it doesn’t feel empty but it’s not overcrowded like melbourne (Australia) or New York
Denver is such a clean city. Can't wait to go back there when this whole Corona pandemic is over...
Ouro Boros psh clean orlando is probably cleanest or slc
@@ericrudnitsky3258 and...?
@Eric Rudnitsky Charlotte NC takes the cake for the cleanest. At least in the downtown area.
good video for driving mania
Yay you came to Colorado!!!!!
Really enjoyed it!!
I'm glad you did
you should come down to my city Colorado Springs if you want
Denver is not that of a great city!
osamabindrinkin40s ok
Pretty nice skyline for the size of the city. It looks comparable to Houston or Dallas, which are both much larger cities. It's not very dense though, reminds me of Houston's downtown...very spread out and long walking distances.
I enjoyed your video.
thank you for make me walking around denver
Left in 2000, lived there 14 yrs, some goods times but mostly bad period of my life, thought about going back but after watching a few of these videos, i don't know, Denver can have kind of a desolate, lonely feel to it at times, i think it's just that flat prairie landscape. Think i'll just stay in Austin, it's awesome
Come during the summer time. Its much more exciting 😎
hello denver from zambia, africa
I agree with many of the comments here that Denver appears to be a very clean city proper! I also love the architecture - the old with the new. I was a little surprised to see so much “old,” but I was delighted.
Have you done Nashville, Tennessee? I grew up there and also Jackson, Tennessee. (Divorced parents. But at least I get to claim both cities as “home.” 😊 )
Great
J Utah. Amo passear de carro com você e conhecer cidades que creio não poderei conhecer pessoalmente. Obrigada pelo passeio
Obrigado por me informar! Eu sempre gosto de ouvir o que as pessoas gostam sobre os vídeos :)
J Utah fala português?? Cool!!
Você um dia irá conhecer todas elas Rosmari , basta lutar sempre e acreditar nos seus Sonhos.
Super passer une journèe lâ-bas. !
Denver skyline is so underrated
Robert Gardea He means aesthetically. The cash register building is a really unique and pretty building that gets no attention outside Colorado.
Love denver :3
