Welcome to Detroit, Michigan
Detroit is one of America's most compelling and resilient cities. Nestled on the banks of the Detroit River, directly opposite Windsor in Canada, the city has undergone a remarkable renaissance over the past decade. Once synonymous solely with the automobile industry, Detroit today is a vibrant destination rich in music heritage, world-class art, outstanding architecture, and an increasingly dynamic food and drink scene.
From the soaring glass towers of the Renaissance Center to the historic neighbourhoods of Midtown and Corktown, Detroit rewards curious visitors with genuine character and warmth. The city's skyline, framed by the wide blue river, makes for an unforgettable first impression as you approach from the airport — a sight best enjoyed from the comfort of a private vehicle.
What to See and Do in Detroit
Detroit's cultural offerings are surprisingly diverse. The Detroit Institute of Arts houses one of the finest art collections in the United States, including Diego Rivera's celebrated Detroit Industry Murals. Motown Museum, known affectionately as Hitsville U.S.A., is a pilgrimage site for music lovers worldwide, telling the story of the legendary record label that shaped popular music throughout the 1960s and beyond.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate Belle Isle Park, a verdant island in the Detroit River offering walking trails, a conservatory, an aquarium, and sweeping views of both the American and Canadian shorelines. Meanwhile, the Eastern Market district, one of the largest historic public markets in the United States, is the perfect place to sample local produce, street food, and artisan goods every Saturday morning.
Practical Tips for Travelling to Detroit
Detroit has a continental climate, meaning winters can be bitterly cold with heavy snowfall, whilst summers are warm and humid. If you are visiting between December and February, do pack layers and waterproof footwear. The summer months of June through August are the most popular for tourism, bringing festivals, outdoor dining, and vibrant street life across the city's many neighbourhoods.
Getting around central Detroit is increasingly straightforward. The QLINE streetcar runs along Woodward Avenue, connecting key cultural districts from downtown to Midtown. For exploring further afield — including the leafy suburbs of Royal Oak or Grosse Pointe — a private vehicle or hired car remains the most practical option. Arriving via a private transfer from Detroit Metropolitan Airport sets the right tone from the outset.

Detroit's Legendary Food Scene
Detroit's culinary identity is as bold and layered as its history. The city's deep Polish, Middle Eastern, and African American cultural roots have produced a food culture unlike anywhere else in the Midwest. From the iconic coney island hot dog — a Detroit institution fiercely debated between rival diners Lafayette and American Coney Island — to the city's acclaimed pizza style featuring a thick, rectangular crust baked in a steel pan, Detroit's comfort food traditions are a joyful revelation for visitors arriving from Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
Beyond the classics, Detroit's restaurant scene has evolved dramatically in recent years. Corktown, the city's oldest surviving neighbourhood, is now home to some of Michigan's most creative chefs, blending local produce with global influences. The Eastern Market district amplifies this further, hosting artisan food vendors, craft breweries, and pop-up dining experiences that celebrate the best of the region. A private transfer to Detroit ensures you arrive rested and ready to explore every flavour the city has to offer.
Architecture & the Arts in Detroit
Few American cities can rival Detroit's architectural heritage. Built on the wealth of the automotive boom, the city is adorned with grand Art Deco skyscrapers, Beaux-Arts theatres, and sweeping boulevards laid out in the early twentieth century. The Guardian Building, completed in 1929, is widely regarded as one of the finest Art Deco structures in the world, its terracotta exterior and vaulted interior mosaic lobby leaving visitors genuinely awestruck. A stroll through downtown Detroit after your arrival from Detroit Metropolitan Airport is an architectural education in itself.
The city's commitment to the arts extends far beyond its impressive museum collections. Detroit has become a global hub for street art and muralism, with entire neighbourhoods transformed by large-scale public works from both local and internationally renowned artists. The Detroit Institute of Arts, home to Diego Rivera's Detroit Industry Murals alongside an extraordinary permanent collection, stands as the centrepiece of the city's cultural life and should be considered essential viewing for any visitor making the transfer from the airport to Detroit.
Belle Isle: Detroit's Island Escape
Sitting serenely in the Detroit River between the United States and Canada, Belle Isle Park is one of Detroit's most treasured natural spaces. This 982-acre island, designed in part by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, offers a remarkable range of outdoor pursuits just minutes from the city centre. Walking and cycling paths wind through mature woodland, past formal gardens, and along the island's shoreline, where views of the downtown skyline and the Ambassador Bridge create a uniquely Detroitian backdrop for an afternoon in the open air.
Beyond its natural beauty, Belle Isle is home to several fascinating attractions, including the Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory — one of the oldest continually operating conservatories in the United States — and the historic Belle Isle Aquarium. The island hosts outdoor concerts, cultural events, and community gatherings throughout the summer months. After arriving at Detroit Metropolitan Airport and completing your private transfer to Detroit, Belle Isle makes for a wonderfully restorative first stop before settling into the city proper.
