Timeline
16:40
Start with Swiss-inspired cider and small-batch coffee at Waldschänke Ciders & Coffee. It opens at 07:00, so you can arrive early and enjoy the rustic, industrial venue with outdoor seats before the crowds gather.
17:40
Walk to the National Ballpark Museum. This family-run spot holds a stunning collection of baseball artifacts from ballparks across the country. It is a quick, engaging stop that keeps you indoors as the afternoon light begins to soften.
18:20
Head to the Colorado State Capitol for the sunset. The domed building is a gorgeous landmark at the southern edge of Downtown. Stand above the words 'One Mile Above Sea Level' engraved in the stone and watch the sun set toward the west, casting a golden glow on the architecture.
19:00
End the evening at The Church. Housed in a former Episcopalian church in the 'SoCo' district, this is one of the city's most popular dance clubs. It is the perfect place to unwind and celebrate the end of the day with locals.
Local tip
The walk from the National Ballpark Museum to the Capitol is short and pleasant. Check the route for the best path through downtown as the light fades.
