Introduction
The 16th Street Mall is the spine of downtown Denver—a ~1.2-mile pedestrian promenade planned with I.M. Pei, opened in 1982 as the liveliest public living room at the foot of the Rockies. Victorian façades, malls, restaurants and street performers line the way; the free MallRide shuttle links the sights. Summer terraces buzz, winter lights glow. For shopping, dining or people-watching, it is the first stop to feel Denver's urban pulse and a handy walk to Union Station and nearby museums.
