With an array of trendy restaurants, local bars, cool cafes, and boutique shops, the Highlands are all-encompassing destinations that has plenty of attractions and activities to keep tourists entertained day or night.
Frequently identified as one of the “hippest” areas in Denver, the Highlands neighborhood has proven to be a fun and exciting place for both residents and tourists.
Together, Highland and West Highland are called the Highlands. Further muddling boundaries, many people consider the neighborhoods of Jefferson Park, Berkeley, and Sunnyside to also be a part of it. However, these Northwest Denver neighborhoods are their own separate entities.
