4.5Detroit RiverFront(1.468 reviews) - A Great Way to Experience Detroit! Piers & Boardwalks
After years of hearing how dirty and dangerous Detroit was, I was a little apprehensive about visiting, but knew that I wanted to experience the Motor City. I was completely surprised at how clean and safe the River Walk area and the downtown in general was. Detroit is a great city that is experiencing a renaissance (GM Renaissance Building pun not included) and I thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The Riverwalk is about 3 miles long and there is a nice, easy access parking lot at the corner of Rivard and Atwater Streets. The views of the Detroit River and Windsor, Canada are incredible. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area.See more..

4.5Ford Field(866 reviews) - FIRST TIME FUN!!!! Arenas & Stadiums
I had never been to an NFL game until my daughter and beau planned this one. What a way to be introduced ....especially in an ENCLOSED stadium!!!! Terrific views from any level and no "nose-bleed" sections. Great to be in a city with rabid fans but I just found the seats a bit small and the beer excessively expensive .....just like all sports stadia (stadiums) which gouge the fans unnecessarily.See more..
4.0Greektown(815 reviews) - Great Time In The D Neighborhoods
The ouzo flows and the souvlaki sizzles on Monroe Street, the center of an ethnic section of Detroit dominated by Greek restaurants and businesses.See more..
Just across the Riverwalk and the Hart Plaza is this beautiful old fashioned skyscraper. The entrance is around the corner, from a side street. It's a working office edifice and basically you can see only the lobby which is really an amazing work of art with its colorful tiles. The only thing that annoyed me was the security officer was following me all the time (of my 5 min I was there) asking me if I need something.See more..

4.0Detroit Downtown(480 reviews) - Detroit in all is glory past, present, and future! Neighborhoods
I've attended Piston and Red Wing events here and have been impressed with the ease of access, security, event staff etc. Everyone has been helpful and happy. The pregame and half time entertainment at the Pistons game has been excellent. I have only done the Gondola seating and highly recommend it if you are not scared of heights. Just make sure you sit in row 1 of not row 2. Row 1 is right on the glass to view down. Row 2 are high top seats which are more comfortable but if someone is in row 1 in front of you you will have an obstructed view. Food and beverage choices are vast but expensive. Bathrooms are abundant and clean. I suggest pre-booking parking to save because it can get pricey the closer you park to the LCA. Free Xfinity WiFi (just enter a bogus email). I have and will return.See more..

The Fisher Building is a piece of art to see in Detroit. We took a free tour of the best parts of the building by Pure Detroit. Just go to the Fisher Building site to sign up for the tour. The building has an amazing history. Our guide, Jacob, really has a passion for this building. You could see it in his presentation. So nice to see young people appreciate the history around them and wanting to share it with others. The story about the theater and it’s history of change was really unique.

4.5Campus Martius Park(315 reviews) - A View of the Future Tuesday: 6:00 AM - 10:00 PM Neighborhoods • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings
Campus Martius Park is a great place to visit whether during a festival or event or just to take time and have lunch or sit with friends and talk. We especially like going ice skating there during the winter months. Whether during the day or in the evening the place is decorated in a lively and holiday fashion. The lines to rent ice skates usually move along quickly. It's a wonderful way to enjoy the outdoors and get some exercise at the same time. From a historical point of view this crossroads has had its share of historical events which include the mustering of Union Troops, having them sign up and ship off to the east during the Civil War. There is a large monument commemorating the end of the Civil War and celebrating the heroes in all the departments of the military. It is quite impressive and should not be missed. It is one of those places that gives an immediate connection to the past while making room for a view of the future.See more..

What a gem on Belle Isle. The park around the museum is a bit downtrodden but the museum and lakefront itself were just thoroughly enjoyable. Many cool exhibits and artifacts and so much history! Was so pleased to learn more about the history of the Edmund Fitzgerald and its relationship to Detroit and the Great Lakes. Received special attention from the museum manager, Steve, who happened to be walking around the building and grounds......what a knowledgeable man. Check this out!See more..
Enjoying the holiday weekend, we chose to venture locally. The conservatory is a timeless beautiful area. Located on Belle Isle, a short drive from downtown Detroit. A horticultural reminder that there's more to the Motor City than cars.See more..
