Self-guided audio tour by AudaTours that walks visitors through the history and architectural highlights of downtown Denver and the 16th Street Mall.
Mile-High Marvels and Architectural Legends is a self-guided audio tour by AudaTours that runs along the 16th Street Mall from Wednesday, October 21 through Tuesday, October 27. It's a walking tour of downtown Denver's architectural landmarks, with the mall and the buildings around it serving as the center of the route.
The tour mixes Denver's history and architecture with the kind of local legends that usually get overlooked. You'll stop at the Colorado Supreme Court, where the courtroom drama sent shockwaves through the nation, and Brooks Tower, whose shadowy deals changed the city's fortunes overnight. Those sit alongside stories of protests and rebellions, and the chess players along 16th Street who've become famous for an unsolved midnight riddle. The stories are told at your own walking pace, so you can linger at a stop if it catches your interest or keep moving when you're ready for the next one.
