If you want to see a sweet swath of Denver, take a walk or bike from Union Station, over the Millennium Bridge, through Commons Park, over the Platte River, and over the highway (I-25) on the Highland Bridge which connects downtown to the Highland neighborhood. There's an abundance of things to see and do in this area, and is a great way to spend a day.
