Where to Visit in Detroit

  • Hitsville U.S.A: Music fans should definitely stop in at Hitsville U.S.A. After the iconic Motown Records left Detroit in 1972, the original headquarters were converted to a museum in 1985. Now you can stand in the same legendary Studio A where some of the biggest hits in rock and roll were recorded. Information on group tours can be found here.
  • Comerica Park: Considered one of the best baseball stadiums in Major League Baseball, Comerica Park is where the Detroit Tigers play and this open-air stadium offers wonderful views of the city. It’s also the perfect place to enjoy some of Michigan’s finest craft beer offerings, along with outrageous concession offerings like pork rind nachos and bratwurst popsicles.
  • Republic Tavern: The Republic Tavern has been one of Downtown Detroit’s hottest restaurants since it opened in early 2015. Located in the historic G.A.R. building, Republic is charcuterie lover nirvana, and they’ve been wowing diners with their dishes created from locally-sourced and in-season ingredients. Try the ploughman’s plate, and be sure to wash it down with one of their many craft cocktails.
