Things To Do
We've added a few of our favorite landmarks below. In addition to the below, some of our favorite areas in Detroit are:
1) Downtown Detroit - Woodward Ave. contains many opportunities for shopping and food. Enjoy the old art deco buildings and theaters.
2) Midtown Detroit - Farther down Woodward Ave. you'll find additional options for bars and restaurants. This is home to the Detroit Institute of Art listed below. There is a free tram called the Q-line that follows Woodward Ave from Downtown to the Hotel St. Regis Detroit n Midtown.
3) CorkTown - The old Irish area of Detroit has old bars and houses.
