Holiday In Boulder

For a city named after a really big rock, Boulder, Colorado is way more fun than it lets on.

Located at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, Boulder is considered one of the happiest and healthiest cities in the United States. That may have something to do with all the fresh air and outdoor activities, or maybe the vibrant uni town culture—or it might be thanks to Colorado’s booming brewery culture. Whatever the case, your holiday in Boulder will be nothing to throw stones at. See what we did there? Hike through a canyon, grind your gears on mountain bike trails and let your luxey side shine in Boulder’s up-and-coming foodie scene. Pick up some Boulder package deals and get to the airport!

Things to Do in Boulder

Before you go thrill-seeking in the Rockies, pick up one of our Boulder car hire deals with enough room for climbing gear and some afternoon shopping and roll on. Don’t be fooled by the name—the Flatirons area is anything but flat. The Flatirons are in fact a stretch of enormous rock formations and a great place to start your Boulder holiday with brilliant views of the city. Closer to the city centre, take a picnic out to Chautauqua, a park that multitasks as a winter wonderland and a summer concert venue. Keep kicking back downtown at the Boulder Public Library, which doubles as a book collection and an ever-changing exhibit space that caters to nerds of all herds. If you spin your schedule just right, you might be in town for events you can’t find anywhere else, like the Halloween Naked Pumpkin Run and Frozen Dead Guy Days in March. What a time to be alive!

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

Between the rocks and mountains, Boulder’s shopping scene is on point. In the downtown district, Pearl Street outshines even the busiest big-city boulevards with art shops, independent fashion boutiques and brand name stores. Step off the main thoroughfare and you’re still sitting—er, walking—pretty in even more local finds that will challenge your Boulder package for the title of “Best Thing I Bought on Holiday”.

Boulder is for foodies, from farm-to-table cafes serving up organic fare to award-winning fusion restaurants adding their signature to New American cuisine. Pearl Street is the city’s restaurant row, and the area around University of Colorado, Boulder is always busting out casual and classic eats. For grub on the go, grab some snacks at the Boulder County Farmers Market north of the university.

Start your night with dinner and a show at Boulder Theater, an Art Deco venue that hosts international acts with a backdrop of glamour. After a show, rinse down the day with a tour of some of the country’s best breweries, offering the finest flavours available on tap. If you try something you like, stay awhile and bond with the locals over your love (or hatred) of hops.
