Denver Airport, also known as DIA, is one of the busiest airports in the world and the biggest airport in the US. The airport is quite distinctive with its striking roof canopy that echoes the distant snow-capped peaks of Colorado's Rocky Mountains.
As you can see on the Denver Airport map above, Denver International Airport has one primary passenger terminal, the Jeppesen Terminal, with three massive Concourses A, B, and C. Gates B and C are only accessible from the Jeppesen Terminal via train. Gate A is accessible by the passenger bridge or by train from Jeppesen.
There are 5 parking lots at the airport and several offsite DEN parking lots nearby. You can find where each onsite parking lot is located on the Denver Airport parking map.

The Jeppesen Terminal and its Concourses A, B, and C are arranged atop each other in a clear and simple layout at DEN. You can see how the terminals are laid out on the Denver International Airport map.
The check-in area, security checks, customs, immigration, and baggage claim are all located in the Jeppesen Terminal, whereas the departure gates are located in the concourses.
As you can see on the Denver International terminal map, the east and west halves of the terminal are divided by airline check-in counters and baggage claims. There are also the east and west side parking garages and ground transportation options according to the airline and side you are traveling on.
Jeppesen has six floors. Levels one through four are mostly devoted to parking facilities. Level 5 has various stores and restaurants, baggage claims, and the south and north security checks. Level 6 contains an upper road system for passenger drop-off, check-in facilities, and a snack court. Level 6 is also where you can access a pedestrian bridge to Concourse A.

Accessible spots are provided near the pick-up/drop-off shelters in the Economic West and Economy East parking lots if using outer parking choices such as economy or shuttle lots. All vans and buses that serve these lots have lifts. Your airline may provide wheelchair or electric cart assistance.
Denver Airport has an Automatic Guideway Transit System or AGTS, a free underground train connecting Jeppesen Terminal to Concourse C, stopping at Concourses A and B along the way.
Remember that the rail system is located within the airport's guarded area. So you must first pass through a security checkpoint before using the train.
Each concourse has its own station on level B, with the departure gates on higher floors. You'll find the AGTS in the main hall on level 4 of Jeppesen Airport. It takes around 6 minutes to get from the terminal to the farthest point of Concourse C.
