LoDo, Historic district and neighborhood in downtown Denver, United States.

The area grew after gold discoveries at South Platte River and Cherry Creek starting in 1858, becoming Denver's first center. These findings drew settlers and established the economic base for the expanding city.

The neighborhood connects directly to Union Station for transportation and has multiple parking options nearby. The area is easy to explore on foot and relatively flat terrain throughout.
Many of the old warehouses now house modern businesses and restaurants while keeping their original brick structures intact. This side-by-side existence of old and new shows clearly in daily use.
