When people think of Detroit attractions, and finding things to do in the area, the first thing that comes to mind is something having to do with the automobile industry. Even though that is true, and even though you will DEFINITELY find many places featuring the history of the auto industry, there is so much more than just "cars" when it comes to finding the best tourist attractions. You would be surprised as to how many places there are and how much there is to explore and find in city that has NOTHING to do with cars. Not only do you have great malls around the area like the Birch Run Outlet Mall,

but you have things such as the Belle Isle Conservatory, Eastern Market and the Dossin Great Lakes Museum (both located on Belle Isle) are some of the more underrated attractions in the city along with Pewabic Pottery. With the Detroit River close by, the new Riverwalk is a great attraction in you must go to. You can walk down the three mile stretch with your sweetie, bike, rollerblade, or just sit down and chill out while enjoying the view. Trying to name all the Detroit attractions would take forever. There is just so much to see and explore. Oh yeah do restaurants count as attractions? I love food and Detroit has every place imaginable you can think of to get your fill of food including some good French Restaurants. Not to mention Great Lakes Crossing is only a 45 minute drive away.

Detroit Attractions Before you head out to your various destinations in the city make sure:

  • You have a map handy
  • You have a list of things you want to go see and do for that day
  • Don't always stick to the list!! While coming from one place, you may discover something that wasn't on your list. Go ahead and check it out especially if it's right there
  • Know how you're going to get around. A Detroit Taxi service could be useful
Having a map with many places marked will help you get to them quicker and give you more time to see most of them.

Museums

Many people do not know about the many museums in the downtown area as well as outside the city. Going to these places (like the Detroit Science Center), will allow you to discover and experience the many cultures that are present in the city.

You could literally take a whole day or even more going to all of them. Click here for more on Detroit museums
