The City
The guide was updated:
Downtown Detroit is the heart of the city, blending business, culture, and residential life. Skyscrapers dominate the skyline along the Detroit River, with the towering Renaissance Center standing as its most iconic feature.
Campus Martius Park and the Grand Circus Park Historic District (also called Foxtown, after the famous Fox Theatre) are central gathering spots along Woodward Avenue, Detroit’s main thoroughfare. These areas feature striking monuments, beautiful parks, and a mix of commercial and residential buildings.
For entertainment, Greektown is a must-visit, filled with Greek restaurants, vibrant venues, and the popular Greektown Casino-Hotel. Meanwhile, Midtown serves as Detroit’s cultural hub, home to the Detroit Art Center, the Cultural Center Historic District, and Wayne State University. Both neighborhoods are rich with attractions, parks, dining, and nightlife.
Each of these districts offers something unique, so be sure to set aside time to explore them all and truly experience the dynamic energy of Detroit.
