Denver Botanic Gardens
Most people come to Denver Botanic Gardens to admire the many natural wonders that it has in store, but that’s not the only reason to visit it. Its architecture is truly stunning, especially its Science Pyramid with signature dark grey tiles.
Denver Art Museum
The journey through the richness of this museum starts even before you step inside. Designed by the Italian architect Gio Ponti, this building is covered with one million reflective glass tiles and its unusual shape was meant to break from traditional museum archetypes.
1144 Fifteenth
If imposing skyscrapers happen to be more of your thing, this is one building in Denver that you shouldn’t miss. Also known as the Wells Fargo Center, this high-rise is best known for its top floors that curve together, resembling vintage cash registers with its shape.
