Getting Around

Denver is an easy walking city. Its newly expanded light rail system offers a good transportation option. Taxis are more easily called than hailed, and phone numbers, such as 303-777-7777 for Yellow Cab Company, are easy to remember. Denver International Airport is 23 miles from downtown, and a taxi ride costs $43. Other options include shuttles, such as SuperShuttle Denver. You can rent a car, but it will most likely sit in the hotel garage, and parking isn’t cheap.
