Find parking near Colorado State Capitol

The Colorado State Capitol in downtown Denver is a striking historic landmark that houses the state’s government and offers free public tours, exhibits and impressive views of the city and Rocky Mountains. Located at the heart of the busy Capitol Hill and Civic Center area, streets around the building see steady traffic on weekdays and during the legislative session, especially along Colfax Avenue and Sherman Street. There is no general public parking on the Capitol grounds, and only limited, designated spaces are reserved for visitors with disability permits.

Most visitors rely on nearby metered street parking and off-street paid options in the surrounding downtown blocks, which can fill quickly and often have short time limits, making it important to plan your arrival and parking in advance for a smoother visit. Street parking can be competitive during business hours and special activities, so allow extra time to navigate one-way streets, read posted signs carefully and walk a few blocks to the building when looking for parking near Colorado State Capitol. Planning ahead helps reduce stress, avoid tickets and make more time to explore the Capitol’s architecture, history and exhibits. Always review the latest information from official city and state sources before you travel, as parking rules and availability can change.
