We do recommend you reserve hotel rooms in Denver as soon as possible! Below are a few options close to the University of Colorado Denver:
​

Air Travel
-
Once you land in the Denver International Airport, there is an airport tram that takes you back to main terminal
-
Once you reach the last stop on the tram, you will take the escalators up into the main terminal. You will remain on the same floor and will want to find the signs pointing you in the direction of the Transit Center.
-
Once you reach the exit, you will take a long escalator down, where you will find the train depot and ticket machines (one way fee is ~ $10.50). Trains run every 15 minutes and will take you into the city.
-
You also have the option of purchasing tickets online through a mobile app found at the link below:

The airport line (map pictured below) is a direct line to downtown. You will remain on the line until the last stop at Union Station.
-
Once at Union Station, you have 3 options to navigate to campus: 1) Walk the entire way; 2) Take the Free 16th Street Mall ride to Larimer St and then walk roughly 3 blocks from there; and 3) Take an Uber/Lyft/Taxi
-
