Detroit
Long overlooked as a tourist destination, Detroit has experienced an exciting regeneration in the past decade that's worthy of any traveller's itinerary.
Motor City is not only the birthplace of the car industry, but also the cradle of soul music – the legendary Motown record label was founded in Detroit in the late 1950's, and the city has given the world some of its biggest stars of various genres, from Stevie Wonder to Eminem.
Bursting with a renewed sense of creativity and community, much of this former industrial monolith has been restored to its former glory, and its rich and varied history is showcased across the city.
Head Downtown for some spectacular architecture – from the Art Deco Fisher Building to the Neo-Gothic Cadillac Tower - you’ll be amazed at the turn of the century splendour. Stop into one of Detroit’s many museums, like the Detroit Institute of Art, where Diego Rivera’s world-famous mural hangs. Discover Detroit's city’s musical history at the expanded Motown Museum, and delve into motoring history at the Henry Ford Museum and Automotive Hall of Fame.
While in town, wander around the vibrant Eastern Market – the largest historic public market in the United States – to see the local vendors and admire the incredible street art. Or, for one of the best ways to see the city, take a river cruise, passing under the Ambassador Bridge, which links the US and Canada. Whatever you think you know about Detroit, a trip there will make you think again!
