Denver is quite safe for a city its size, but like most major cities always practice precaution.

You should treat walking in Denver like you do any other large city — no displays of opulence, be aware of your surroundings, don’t wear anything that obscures your hearing or vision, and don’t go into areas that are isolated alone.

Stick to the well-lit areas and travel in groups if you can.

Coming from lower altitude environments to higher altitude, may cause a common occurrence of altitude sickness. Altitude sickness varies from person to person. Symptoms can include: headache (most common), sometimes accompanied by fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, and occasionally vomiting. To counteract altitude sickness we recommend:

1. stop and rest where you are when symptoms arise.
2. if you have a headache, take ibuprofen.
3. make sure you’re drinking enough water.
4. do not smoke, drink alcohol, or exercise.
