Well, the shopping, breweries and eateries were awesome. However there are so many people asking for handouts that it was almost offensive. The part that got me was most didn't look homeless. Lots of people in electric wheelchairs asking for handouts...I don't get how they can afford electric wheelchairs but still need to beg. They do accept a polite "no"... More

Our family went to the 16th street mall in December and June. There were many good shops and restaurants on the street. We took FREE buses for shopping.

I've never seen so many restaurants! We were just looking for a little souvenir shop to buy some postcards, but had to travel blocks before finding one. There was no shortage of eating establishments however! On our second day we discovered that there are free shuttle buses running frequently, the entire length of the 16th Street Mall. This proved to... More

I stayed in a hotel a block away from this mall so I was there regularly and got a good feel for it. It is with taking the time to see. It is not a normally mall. The center street is blocked off and it is mostly outside. There are numerous blocks of stores along the street. Pretty family friendly... More

Very cool vibe here. We road the light rail down and bussed over to the mall. So many things going on there! Great restaurants, tons of people and it just feels like you're experiencing Denver life when you walk down the street!

My boyfriend and I were visiting Denver from Utah over the weekend. He is planning on moving there in a few weeks, so even though we had a very limited time in town to learn our way around and hunt for housing, we still wanted to see what "downtown" felt like. We were staying at the Marriott in the Denver... More

It has potential. The city of Denver needs to get rid of all the homeless vagrants loitering the streets and it would be a lot better. Until that happens, it's not a safe place for families.

Enjoyed my visit. A must if you are visiting Denver. A great pedestrian mall area that is built on city blocks. Lots of casual to fine dining choices. Stores both well known and local. I enjoyed sitting outside watching the outdoor piano player

Downtown Denver is never a dull place to visit. There are always interesting people, unique tasting restaurants and things to do in this great city. When you venture in the streets of downtown Denver, specifically the 16th street mall, be sure to stop by the Clock Tower to see street performers, live bands or an event that usually takes place...

Back in the 70s, many cities put in pedestrian malls, thinking they would be people-friendly places that would boost business. The inability of shoppers to drive to stores and park in front ended up killing those ideas, however. Some cities have kept their pedestrian malls, and many have done really well. The 16th Street Mall in downtown Denver is one.... More
