Cuisine and crafts of Denver

A thematic stop on the Denver audio-guided tour, this quieter stretch of street invites you to think about the typical items to bring back from the city. Without being a city of classic souvenirs, Denver offers original and sometimes very beautiful creations.

The crafts of the West

Colorado abounds in creators and workshops inspired by Indigenous cultures and the wide-open spaces. You can find turquoise and silver jewellery, hand-woven ceramics and textiles, often inspired by Navajo or Pueblo traditions. To ensure their authenticity, look for the certification linked to the Indian Arts and Crafts Act, which guarantees manufacture by a member of a recognised tribe.

What to see

There are also many leather goods, cowboy hats, boots and even handmade snowboards. As for flavours, the local cuisine offers fine discoveries, such as the famous Denver omelette. Enough to extend the spirit of Colorado well beyond the visit.
