Denver Tech Center
In the 1980s, the Denver Tech Center was conceived as the city's version of California's Silicon Valley. Today, well-known companies are indeed housed here, but for locals and visitors alike DTC is Denver's more laid-back alternative to urban entertainment options. Fiddler's Green Amphitheater hosts outdoor summer concerts with big-name stars who often stay at one of the plethora of nearby hotels. The area is full of trendy restaurants, shopping, clubs and bars, all with easy access to Interstate 25.
