About

Detroit, the city attributed to Motown, the automotive industry and championship sports teams, promises visitors a wide range of culture, entertainment, architecture and comfort. When visitors travel to downtown Detroit, they will be pleasantly surprised to find most attractions within walking distance of each other. And if it is more convenient, Detroit's People Mover and other forms of public transportation are readily available.

When visting Detroit, the biggest problem is trying to narrow down the options on what to do while you are here. Perhaps you would enjoy a day at the Detroit Institute of Arts or travel across the street to the Detroit Science Center. Maybe the Detroit Tigers or Red Wings are playing a game and it's an easy walk or ride to several bars and restaruants made to fit every budget and interest. Also, make sure you check with your hotel or search online for the free festivals that are often held downtown. And if you are into theatre, please do not miss an opportuntiy to see a show at the beautiful Fox Theatre or other remarkable venues right within the city. Feeling lucky? You'll want to travel to our three major casinos within the city: MGM, Greektown and Motor City Casino.

And what if a relaxing visit is what you're after? Several hotels within the city offer services to make your life a little bit easier, whether by spa treatments to room service to lovely restaurants and bars within their walls so you never have to leave it you don't want to.

After visiting Detroit, you'll wonder what made you wait so long in the first place to travel to this city that has something for everyone.

The Detroit Institute of Arts is really awesome, especially after the new remodel. The baseball park/sports area is cool too, it's all relatively new and has this constructed safe feel ala Disneyland. The rest of Detroit...kind of bombed out looking. I'd give it 3 stars for bombed-out ness that you don't really see anywhere else?
