This is a fabulous stop! There are many, many things to do, places to eat and loveliness to see! You definitely need a week or more!Downtown is a lovely walk, especially for me because it is one of the most dog friendliest places I’ve visited. Most of the eateries and shops also place water bowls for your pets to enjoy.

I grew up in golden. I loved the place. I still like going there but its more like going to any tourist site in Colorado. So theres the additional cost that go along with being a tourist site. Still a great place to go with out of town guests. And its fun to go to during holidays. Parking can be tricky in that if you want a good spot you will need to pay.

Great little city and day trip!!

Lovely spot, love the boutique shops and the rock shop. Lots of restaurants. Smaller scale and less busy than Boulder but still a great way to blow a couple hours.

Cute area with tons of shops and places to eat. There was an acupuncturist, antiques, and gift card shop, just to name a few.

Cute downtown just as we remembered it nearly a decade ago. Plenty of shops and eateries to support. Do your part!

Lots of shops and great places to eat, lovely walking paths along the creek. I love all the bins for recycling and solar panels here and there. Really great place to visit.

Feel of an old western with mix of modern town. Nice places to walk, nice place just to hang out. Trump2020

1st time there. Laid back atmosphere. Bars ,food , shopping. Favorite spot was beautiful creek and green space running thru town .

Love the little shops and restaurants! Great place to spend the afternoon or the whole day!

Beautiful small Colorado town. As of August 2020 the river/creek is closed to people rafting on it. My family loves to go to one of the parks and then the ice cream shop on Washington.

Adorable downtown area with breweries, restaurants, and delicious cafes. Lovely place to pass a few days with excellent hikes in the area.

I go here at least once a week I love it so much! Great for kids and family theres a river next to it and 2 parks. in the summer there are movies in the park and big gatherings on fourth or July and all the holidays.

Lovely little downtown with plenty of places to park and things to do

Awesome old school Colorado down town. You dont get this type of culture much anymore especially as close to Denver as Golden is. Great place to stroll around with the family and pop into different shops for drinks, ice cream of to grab some last minute adventure gear before heading into the wilderness.

Lots of great bars and restaurants in a very scenic area.

Very small (a few streets) but a quaint downtown with lots of eating joints and pubs. Also has beautiful boutique stores and people are really nice everywhere. Coors brewery is very close by and the mountains only add to the beauty of the landscape.

Amazing little town with very friendly people.

Cute town. Decent eating places, decent shopping

Street is partially blocked off so restaurants can offer outside seating. Great atmosphere! Dont miss the lovely lady at the quilt shop and her 2 great dogs!

Quaint. 1800s meets 21st century.- School of Mines, and Miller-Coors, are very prominent.- Bluff vistas are outstanding.- Lots of shops, and craft beer eateries.- Very touristy, especially in the Summer.- Weather can be extremely changeable: 70s one day, snow the next.

Beautiful! Cute small town feel, people are super nice!

Love Golden!! So good to see restaurants and shops re-opening. Please come visit to support them all. Its been our favorite place to hang out for years. I miss farmers market and live music events... It gets very crowded along the creek on weekends, guess people are just done with staying at home. School of Mines campus is beautiful, so are the side streets - lots of blooming flowers / shrubs this time of year, nice houses, thanks to Golden residents. Library is awesome too, cant wait for it to re-open for normal business.

I’ve loved Golden from the first time I visited. It’s a charming, inviting, and precious town filled with excellent food, hotels, and an adorable downtown. A must visit!

Always nice to get out of the city and visit this gem! Main street shops are open! Masks required.

Support our local businesses! So many lovely local coffee shops and eateries, avoid Starbucks while youre here!

Quaint, historic, lots of interesting shops a d good places to eat. Walk the creek or rent a tube and float down it. Visit the Coors Brewery for free beers!

Visiting Golden to escape the heat. Beautiful, friendly town and everyone was so respectful of each other with all the mask restrictions. We will be coming back!

Cute town. Highly recommend the Buffalo Rose restaurant for brunch

Great place to visit and walk around downtown.During Christmas whole area is decorated by Clear Creek and was lit up and beautiful.You will not be disappointed.

We walked alongside Clear Creek and it was so peaceful and calming. Really enjoy this quaint town. Will be back often

Neat place. Fun shopping.

Nice spot to walk/shop/eat/drink

What a gorgeous , cute and friendly town!!

My favorite Colorado town! Beautiful scenery, great trails, delicious restaurants, rock climbing, tubing, kayaking, i can go on forever!

Loved this City!! We visited here on our vacation~

Downtown Golden Colorado is a beautiful place to walk around. There are a lot of restaurants and other shops. It has an old town feel to it. Theres a river that runs through a section of it with a walking trail. Theres a lot of fun to be had. From there you can head up to 19th street and drive up a winding mountain road and get to the top of lookout mountain.

Beautiful Town and people. We went to the art festival and walked by the river.

Beautiful. Hope the City finally decides to Back The Blue!

Really nice town to visit.

Its was fun and very beautiful

Really fun place to visit and explore. Woody’s pizza was amazing! Old timey photos, lots of gift shops, benches by the river. A fun little Main Street to spend some time.

Golden is one of my favorite towns in Colorado. There are a number of great places to eat, and several quaint shops.

Awesome place to visit

Its very pretty and totally worth a visit. The stores get a bit pricey but nothing beats a walk around the creek.

Such an amazing place and great eating down town. The Coors Factory is a must see and super cheap.

This place is beautiful. Lots of walking to different places

Quaint walk through town, not a lot of shopping, mostly food and thats it. Meh

Great historical downtown area with great restaurants and specialty shops..

The downtown is full of fun food and great people

All shops open, a lot of people. Everyone social distancing. Restaurants doing a great job!

Pretty cool place. Somewhat wheelchair friendly

Cute old western town. Beautiful river running through town and great views of the vallry.

Fun, inviting and beautiful. One of my favorite places to visit in the Colorado foothills

Great little downtown area to visit. Many very good unique restaurants (not chain stores), small shops, and some very good bike stores. A very good visitor center that can provide you with all kinds of information about the area. There is also a great hiking trail along Clear Creek that you can pick up right in the middle of town and tours of the Coors brewery are just a very short walk away. A great place to visit for a day or more with two very nice hotels right downtown.

Rather boring, alot of Covid rules which makes hard to do much of anything. Maybe Ill come back someday.

Downtown Golden is an attractive and friendly area that is full of things to do and places to dine. You can tell that this historic town embraces its past while inspiring visitors to come and enjoy!

Wish I would have had more time to walk around and take in all the historic sites. Beautiful little town.

So beautiful!!!

We loved downtown Golden! Such a appealing little town with a lot of life. It is modern but maintains the historic aesthetic.

I love it ️️My wattsapp is 00201288531930

Fun mountain town to walk around, shop, eat, shop, drink

The sign says it all!! Great food, stores and micro beers kinda some up the small town charm that is a lot of fun in December or anytime of the year.. Worth anyones time to visit this beautiful Colorado mountain town!!!

Enjoyed a piece of peach pie and a smoothie at the Windy Saddle Cafe. A cute downtown area to explore. Although I did not participate, the tubing looked fun.

Everyone was super friendly, parking was easy, and the coffee was great! Check out the Windy Saddle if you stop through:)

Fun place to spend a day. Little stores and food. Outdoor patios.

Not too impressed as there were several shops we couldnt enter as they were not wheelchair accessible!Very disappointed for my Mom!!

Golden reminded me of Temecula California, however, there were more pleasantries here. First off parking was easily available. Granted COVID-19 was a factor. The views were beautiful and the mild western style feel to the main street shopping was refreshing. Enjoyed the shops there which includes the abundantly stocked Rocking Horse Antiques store. Had a beer with chicken enchiladas at the Table Mountain Inn Bar and Cantina. Planning on going back soon.

Its charming and cute with good restaurants and coffee shops.

Fantastic food and fun, pizza to pate, brews to barrels, youll love to stroll the quaint streets and along the creek of course!

Simply one of the best historical places in Colorado!

We were just wasting time walking around. The few stores we went in were cool to look at

Cute down home shops. Nice to take a stroll and relax and enjoy

Excellent small historic town.

I love historic downtown Golden. It is at the heart of the City located along the banks of Clear Creek between the foothills of the Rocky Mountains to the West and two ancient mesas to the East. Historic downtown Golden dates back to the early 1850’s when the first settlers came looking for gold. It was a bustling center of commerce for those making the trek into the hills near Central City and Blackhawk. A major landmark is the Coors factory, Which is visible from many locations about town. Downtown Golden also includes three parks – Parfet Park, Lion’s Park and the award-winning Clear Creek Whitewater Park. There are several museums located in historic downtown Golden including the Golden History Museum & Park, Mines Museum, the Foothills Art Center and the American Mountaineering Museum.Visitors can stop at the Golden Visitors Center located in downtown to find information about where to shop, dine and play. No matter if you have an hour, half the day or plan to stay the weekend, historic Downtown Golden is sure to provide an authentic experience steeped in culture and filled with fun!

Stopped in the town of Golden on our way to the Lariat Loop. Nice shops with unique ski-lodge like gifs and furnishings on main street. Loved the statues on every corner.There is plenty of free parking, public restrooms (if really need one) and a very informative visitors center. The visitors center is closed on Sundays but plenty of information outside.

Such a cozy and quiet little place with lots of great shops! Came during the day and thats probably why it was so calm but that made it even more amazing!

Beautiful town! Plenty to do on the weekend when visiting

Beautiful, very nice people and shops and food everywhere

Great, historic places to visit

Adorable! Making the best of quarintine by closing down the main street and having outdoor seating . So cute !

Cute little town outside of Denver! We stopped here for lunch before taking the Peak-to-Peak Highway to Estes Park. I could have spent an entire weekend in this town. Its beautiful!

We loved Golden! Pro tip: go to the creek and follow the trail. youll end up in the mountains! Just make sure youre wearing proper hiking shoes and have water.

Such a cute town

A nice place to walk and stumble upon a little mexican joint serving up bomb chips and salsa.

Nice place to enjoy plenty of scenic places and places to eat.

Its so beautiful all lit up for xmas! Its to bad that golden USD changed so much just like the rest of this state!

Great little getaway! Fun town to explore!

Cool historic downtown! Great place to hang out. Tubing and walking and shopping are the main things to do. You can also check out the local breweries and restaurants.

Cool place to visit when you want to kill a few hrs

Love the shops, clean and friendly

Lovely town and friendly atmosphere. Would love to live here.

Visited for one day but we loved the small town feel. Next time we go near Denver, well stay in Golden.

Beautiful setting lots of shops, parks and trails

Golden, Colorado is a beautiful town outside of Denver. Golden has a beautiful campground with a river running next to it. The downtown has so many great restaurants, shopping, antique stores and an assortment of events that take place in the parks. Definitely recommend spending a day or two in Golden to get it all in. There are also a few great hotels in town and do not forget the campground. Reservations are always recommend.

I have always loved how friendly people are in Golden

Good old town , did the coors brewery tour, bought a lot of trinkets in gift shop, then walked around the town and enjoyed many places to eat and drink, plenty of gift shops , with some nice things to buy , also a nice river walk or go for a jog, there seemed to be places to go hiking

Everyone in the shops was very helpful and the food was great. Extra point for social distancing

Really beautiful little old town!

Love this town. Quaint.
