Situated between the Great Plains and the American West, Denver attracts thousands of tourists each year with its glistening skyscrapers and proximity to the Rocky Mountains. As the ideal base from which to explore the great outdoors of this region, the city offers a relaxing and friendly atmosphere, with plenty going on year-round.

New Year’s Day: celebrations to see in the New Year largely take place on New Year’s Eve, with parties held across the city and lasting into the early hours. New Year’s Day itself is a day of rest and recuperation, with families usually spending the time together at home. Many services shut down on this day and public transport is limited.

Denver International Airport is the gateway to the city and the Rockies, as well as being an ultra-modern, well-facilitated air hub that ranks as one of the largest international airports in the world. Direct flights are available from most domestic cities as well as from major cities in Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. United Airlines and Frontier Airlines offer the largest selection of domestic routes from the airport.
