About the city: Englewood
Englewood, located south of Denver in the state of Colorado, is an excellent starting point for visitors who want to combine concerts, sporting events and an urban break. The city has a calmer character than the large metropolitan center, yet it is close enough to the main arenas, stadiums and concert venues of the wider Denver area to fit easily into any travel plan. Thanks to its practical location, diverse dining options and more accessible pace, Englewood is especially appealing to visitors who want to stay close to the action while avoiding the busiest parts of the city center.
Infrastructure is one of the city’s biggest advantages. Englewood is connected by the Regional Transportation District (RTD) system, with Englewood Station and the RTD D Line light rail being especially important, providing easy access to Denver and other parts of the metropolitan area. For arrivals from more distant cities, Denver Union Station and Denver International Airport (DEN) are key, while the RTD A Line connects the airport with Denver’s main transportation hub. Local mobility is further supported by RTD bus routes, the Englewood Trolley, US Highway 285 (Hampden Avenue) and US Highway 85 (Santa Fe Drive), making it easy for visitors to reach arenas, stadiums, hotels and restaurants.
As a tourism bonus, Englewood offers enough attractions for a pleasant stay before or after an event. A walk through the South Broadway area reveals restaurants, bars, shops and a local urban rhythm, while Belleview Park, River Run Trailhead and the trails along the South Platte River provide a more relaxed Colorado experience. Visitors who want to extend their outing can head toward Denver, but even without going far from Englewood, they can find pleasant places for dinner, a walk or a break before returning from a concert or match.
