Highlights
For over 100 years, Denver has been called "The Christmas City", and the Holiday lights downtown will help you to understand why. Enjoy historic stories of old Denver, while thousands of twinkly lights, act as a backdrop. We stop at the beautiful Union Station, the Mile High Christmas Tree, the Dairy Block, Larimer Square and the Christkindl Market, for some roasted almonds, pretzel, or hot coco. You will get an opportunity to see Denver's Holiday Drone show.
This walking tour offers the some of the best holiday sites that Denver has to offer, and is a must for locals and visitors alike. This is a small group tour, 20 max. Duration: 1.5 to 2 hours. Walking 1.5 Miles. This not a round trip tour, but it is easy to get back to the starting location. Because the tour starts two blocks from Union Station, we recommend using light rail to get to the tour; otherwise we recommend reserving a parking spot in advance, through SpotHero, or taking an Uber or a Lyft to and from the tour.
