I will be having a day in Denver after a weeks skiing in the middle of February. I will need to check in at the airport at about 3.00pm but I am wanting to see a little bit of Denver before then.

So two questions

1 - Which area of Denver would be a good place to stay on the night before I fly back.

2 - What are the things worth seeing in the time I have. (eg. any museums or galleries, or retail experiences!! or are there any particularly good bars or clubs worth visiting on the Friday evening or any good places to eat.)

As this is my first trip to Colorado and Denver any advice would be well received.

Many thanks to anyone who can help
