If you despise sitting in a crowded restaurant, or forgot to make a Valentine's reservations or no restaurant is accepting last-minute schedules for this romantic holiday, consider these three options in downtown Denver.
Sometimes, last-minute plans are the most memorable.
On average, 55,000 people use the free MallRide shuttles every day, according to Downtown Denver Partnership.
Out-of-town visitors, downtown workers and casual guests will swarm the area filled with attractions, restaurants and just people-watching activities.
1. Walk the Millenium Bridge.
Completed in 2002, this bridge stands as the world’s first cable-stayed bridge using post-tensioned structural construction. The bridge is the first of three pedestrian bridges between Downtown Denver and the Highland neighborhood. Pedestrians can view the traffic on Interstate 25 at a vantage point.
2. Take a carriage ride.
Carriages will be available for last-minute planners. However, prices range from $95 to $275 with a time frame between 20 to 90 minutes, depending on the desired route.
