With a robust arts and culture scene, Denver is earning more acclaim as a destination for the arts. In December 2022, Clever ranked Denver among the top 20 best cities in America for its unique culture and identity. After undergoing a $175 million renovation/addition project, the Denver Art Museum was named to Condé Nast Traveler’s “Best New Museums in the World: 2022 Hot List.” Esteemed architecture also makes Denver stand out as a destination with locations like Union Station, which was ranked No. 9 by Time Out’s list of "The 21 most beautiful train stations in the U.S." in April 2023. Denver also ranked No. 10 in the 2023 USA TODAY 10Best Readers' Choice travel award contest for Best City for Street Art in June 2023. Denver continues to be a top location for musicians and music lovers with hundreds of venues across the city.
