Detroit is the largest city in Michigan and is known as the major port city along the Detroit River. The area is known to be the world's automotive capital of the world and is well known for its musical legacy. What is fondly referred to by automotive fans as 'Motor City' is just as lovingly referred to as 'Motown' by the music fans. There is so much to love about Detroit - let's take just a peek at what this city has to offer.

Fine Arts

Located in Midtown Detroit, you will find the Detroit Institute of the Arts, Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, The Detroit Science Center, The Detroit Historical Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit all within walking distance of each other. A few miles west will get you to the Henry Ford Museum, which is the largest outdoor/indoor historical attraction in the world.

Museums

Music

If you are here for the music, you can get your fix of it live at the Carriage House, where they sing the blues and nothing but the blues. The Holbrook Café is also a great place for live music; in fact it is the largest bar in the area that showcases live music.
