    First of all, the architecture. Fabulous. I was very impressed by that and I also loved the wings that are located after the briged. It's a nice place, quiet, with a lot of space and really beautiful. Visit recommend 💯💯💯

    As a bridge engineer, I wanted to see the Millennium Bridge when visiting Denver. It’s super convenient to get to, being only about a block from Union Station, and being at one end of the 16th Street Mall. Compared to other cable stayed bridges, this structure’s span and over size isn’t overly impressive, but its architecture with the canted tower and splayed stay cables are pretty cool. It’s also nice and low, so it’s an easy climb up the stairs for visitors (also accessible by elevator). The views from the top of the deck is nice. Definitely recommended if you’re walking in the LoDo area! Good spot for pictures too.

    Cool bridge that allows easy access from riverfront to downtown. We walked around last night after dinner and took some pics.

    A photogenic, modern bridge in downtown Denver. Looking gorgeous at any time of the day and any season of the year. Very easy to access from Union Station and a great spot to take a photo souvenir. The bridge is built over train tracks and connects businesses around Union Station with the riverfront green belt and many new apartment buildings on the other side of the tracks.

    Beautiful pedestrian bridge that offers great photo ops. Very lively and near so much around the train stations and downtown area. Very accessible, with elevators and hand rails too.

    A nice bridge that takes you to the main area of downtown and to Union Station. It was clean, good security, great views, and well-running elevators on each side of the bridge. Worth coming here for a view of the city!

    Not sure the history, determine to understand and learn it now. But overall not a bad place to hang and a really good spot to see while in Denver. If you have time, Hello Darling is right below the bridge and a worthwhile visit for the cocktails, the vibes, and the comfort.

    Small, must be able to walk steps. Tulips weee blooming on our walk. It is exactly what it says. Bridge with garden.

  • 4/5 Nidhi M. 10 months ago on Google
    It’s a good place to visit if you are already in Colorado downtown. A park is also there in front of this.

    The Millennium Bridge is a truly remarkable feat of engineering and design that is not to be missed. Located in the heart of Denver, the bridge spans the South Platte River and provides stunning views of the city skyline. The bridge itself is a work of art, with its sleek, modern design and shimmering silver color. It is a pedestrian-only bridge, which makes for a peaceful and relaxing experience. Walking across the bridge is an experience like no other. The bridge sways gently with the wind, giving visitors the feeling of floating above the river. The views from the bridge are simply breathtaking, and are a must-see for anyone visiting Denver. At night, the bridge is illuminated with colorful lights that create a truly magical atmosphere. It is a popular spot for photographers and Instagrammers, as the bridge provides the perfect backdrop for stunning photos. Overall, the Millennium Bridge is a must-visit for anyone in Denver. It is a unique and unforgettable experience that is sure to leave visitors in awe. Don't miss out on the opportunity to walk across this incredible bridge and take in the stunning views of the city.

  • 5/5 Michael H. 1 year ago on Google
    Early morning walks in downtown is always great and seeing this as you walk under it is amazing. Great architecture.

  • 5/5 Courtney J. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a great photo opportunity. The wings were gorgeous, just wish they were turned around for a better background. The steps up to the bridge weren't bad there is an elevator for others but unfortunately it was closed. Definitely recommend visiting the bridge when visiting Denver.

    Connects the Highlands to downtown Denver passing over I-25. Lands at confluence park, perfect place to chill and people watch. Include it in your urban hike.

    I'm not entirely sure why Google is bothering me to review the Millennial Bridge, but it is, so here I am. It's a bridge. It goes from east and west, crossing some rail road tracks and the light rail line. You can walk across the bridge, hop, skip or jump. No motorized vehicles, though.

    Wonderful area to walk around, I took my friend here today to enjoy the warm weather. Highly recommend exploring Union Station, Tattered Cover and some of the nicest restaurants in Denver!!

  • 4/5 Lorenzo R. C. 5 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Anisha 4 years ago on Google
    Very cool structure, definitely not just any old city bridge. Nice views and places to sit.

  • 5/5 M A. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredible views from all angles.

  • 2/5 James C. 1 year ago on Google
    Looks nice, but there’s neither a bike ramp nor a gutter to roll your bike up the stairs. You’ll either need to carry your bike up the stairs or take the handicap accessible elevators on each end.
