Hi! I'm moving to Denver in a few months from Europe. Can you give me some advice about what Denver is like, what should I expect. What activities are there for a 15 year old? Some things I should know before moving there. Thanks :)

Hi! I'm so sorry if you asked this a while ago and I'm no help, but I just saw it. Denver is a wonderful city. It's safe and there's a good amount to do as far as parks, movies, other activities you might want to do. I don't know where in Europe you're from, by the public transportation here is not the best and probably won't live up to your standards. If you can manage it, I recommend a car. What school will you be attending? I hope this helps. Feel free to ask anything else

Vitality: The word shares a root with vital. I asked myself, "What is vital to an urban landscape?" The first thing that I thought of was good public transportation. While Denver doesn't have a subway, or a BART, or one of the famous systems that other large metropolitan areas have, the RTD is improving with more bus routes and light rail tracks that connect people to their destinations.

Mile-High

For the last word of the day, Denver is the mile high city and that elevation puts us in the perfect location to make all the other descriptors possible. You could say 5280 is the ultimate height.
