Transportation

Lyft, Uber, and the light rail are available in Denver. Some of the city is walkable but it’s easier to navigate neighborhoods around downtown via bikes and scooters, which are available to rent. Renting a car in Colorado is recommended if you want to see any of the outdoor destinations that Colorado is known for.
