Downtown Boulder is a uniquely beautiful downtown, surrounded by the stunning Flatiron Mountains with the Rocky Mountains in the distance, the crystal clear Boulder Creek, and filled with wonderful shopping, dining, and entertainment. The well-maintained Downtown Boulder has a very clean and delightfully charming atmosphere. Just 30 miles from Denver, Downtown Boulder is a must see. Another distinctive feature of Downtown Boulder is the Pearl Street Mall. The Pearl Street Mall is a wonderfully charismatic four-block-long pedestrian mall. Colorful, bright flowers fill the square gardens and the shopping, dining, and entertainment on the Pearl Street Mall, as well as throughout downtown, are truly incredible. The great selection of art galleries, jewelry stores, clothing stores, sporting goods stores, and much more should keep you happily busy for hours. Taking a break for lunch or dinner will be delightful at one of downtown Boulder’s amazing restaurants. You can also take a break from shopping and be awed and entertained by one of Boulder’s street performers. Downtown Boulder also hosts events year round, including holiday events, outstanding art shows, and great musical events. |
