What's the best time of year to visit Denver?

Denver can be enjoyed any time of year. However, fall (September to October) is particularly beautiful as the weather is comfortable and you'll get to see beautiful fall colors.

Do I need a car to get around Denver?

Not necessarily. Denver has a fairly comprehensive public transportation system. However, if you plan to explore the city's outskirts or the Denver Mountain Parks, a car would be more convenient.
