Timeline

  1. 09:00

    Levən Deli

    Grab a coffee and a pastry at Levən Deli. It opens at 08:00, so arriving at 09:00 means you beat the lunch rush and can enjoy the outdoor seating in the warm sun.

  2. 09:15

    Colorado State Capitol

    Walk to the Colorado State Capitol. The dome is most striking in the early morning light, and you can stand above the "One Mile Above Sea Level" engraving before the tour groups arrive.

  3. 10:00

    City O City

    End your walk at City O City, just a short stroll from the Capitol. Grab a blueberry muffin or the vegan buffalo wings and watch the city life go by from their tables.
