Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado. Centrally located in Denver, the center has become one of Denver's many landmarks.

From DEN to Downtown


Transportation & Travel

Located in the heart of downtown Denver, the Colorado Convention Center is easily accessible from Denver International Airport (DEN) via the RTD A Line commuter rail. This train runs regularly between the airport and Denver Union Station, a central transit hub about a mile from the convention center; from there, attendees can hop on the 16th Street FreeRide (formerly Free MallRide), take a quick taxi or rideshare, or walk to the venue. Numerous RTD light rail lines and bus routes also serve downtown, making it easy to travel from hotels and neighborhoods across the metro area.

Beyond public transportation, rideshare options like Uber and Lyft offer convenient door-to-door service throughout the city, and taxis are available at both the airport and downtown. Rental cars can be picked up at DEN for those looking to explore beyond the city. Many hotels are located within walking distance of the convention center, and Denver’s walkable downtown makes getting around on foot simple and efficient.

Parking

Parking at the Colorado Convention Center is convenient, with an on-site garage offering easy access to the building as well as numerous nearby lots and street parking options. Rates and availability vary by time and event. Learn more here.
