Craft breweries and beautiful surrounding nature are two of Denver’s biggest draws, but there’s more to this city than meets the eye. Colorado’s capital will also impress you with its amazing modern architecture, and here are some if its very best examples.

Denver Art Museum

You don’t even have to step inside the Denver Art Museum to discover its artistic richness. Its exterior, designed by the Italian architect Gio Ponti, is as impressive as the artwork inside and it will take your breath away with its reflective glass tiles and unusual shape.

Cash Register Building

One of the symbols of Denver, this spectacular skyscraper is impossible to miss and it’s one of the shiniest stars of the city’s skyline. It’s also known as the Wells Fargo Center, but it owes its popular nickname to the unusual curvy shape of its top floors that resemble a vintage cash register.

Denver Botanic Gardens

Denver Botanic Gardens are one of the best places to explore Denver’s natural beauty, but that’s not the only reason why tourists can’t resist them. They’ll also wow you with their architectural beauty, especially the Science Pyramid made with dark grey tiles.
