Don’t sleep on Detroit! This iconic American city is ready for its full comeback–with the food, arts, cocktail scenes, plus a thriving, never-quit community, to back it up.
Detroit is a place that wears its heart on its sleeve, and you can feel it the moment you set foot in this iconic American city. It’s a city that shows off every achievement, accomplishment and every crack and scar, there’s no hiding its past, no limit to its potential. And over the past few years, Detroit has been building up an incredible comeback–something the locals always knew was going to happen, but also something that can make it a destination full of surprises for a visitor.
The past few years have seen a resurgence in Detroit. Local companies like Shinola have dug their roots in deeper with Detroit-made products. Old buildings that once housed bustling auto industry and commercial businesses have long been empty on the inside, but the outside has been a draw for street artists to create, and for visitors to admire their work. The food scene has become a main draw for travellers looking to tempt their taste buds, try new flavours and sip on craft beer. And the music of Detroit has been a continuous heartbeat for the city through good and tough times, with Motown, electric music and jazz bars throughout the downtown core.
