Number 3: Cherry Creek Shopping District
"Tired yet? We didn't think so - because you haven't made it to Cherry Creek yet.

Just a ten-minute drive from downtown, Cherry Creek North is a 16-block extravaganza features the region's largest collection of independently owned shops, boutiques, galleries, restaurants and spas. From the latest fashion trends, to home furnishings, jewelry and just about anything else on your list -- you'll find it here. As if that isn't enough, adjacent to Cherry Creek North is Cherry Creek Mall with no less than 160 of those brand name stores that you simply cannot live without. When added together, Cherry Creek North and Cherry Creek Mall form one of the most massive, diverse and exhilarating shopping zones in the U.S. You can easily spend a couple hours here, or a while away a whole day browsing one-of-a-kind items and searching for the perfect keepsake to remember your trip to the Mile High City."Continue to keep counting down Visit Denver's top six "Shop 'Til You Drop" destinations.
