Detroit

Detroit Michigan was, until very recently, the capital of the world when it comes to the automotive industry, and is still the home of many of the largest car makers in the world such as GM and Ford. This presence of industry has led to the city being known the world over as Motor City, and to this day, any fan of motor vehicles will find that their trip to the city is one that will give them plenty of opportunity to learn more about the history of the car, and to see the many historic vehicles that have had such an impact on the modern world.

Of course, there is so much more to Detroit than just cars, and the city is also very well known as the home of Motown music - that immediately recognisable soul sound that dominated the radio in the 1960s and 1970s, and still has such a massive influence on almost every genre of modern music that you will hear. The live music scene in the city is definitely one of the main reasons for visiting, and visitors will love the chance to visit some of the traditional clubs in order to hear the popular tunes from back in the day as well as many of the hottest modern bands that you can imagine.

For many of the thousands of people who visit Detroit each year, one of the main attractions that the city offers is the chance to get back to nature. Outside the rusting suburbs where the giant factories that once produced millions of cars each year still stand, you will find some of the best countryside in the USA, and there are many golf courses to experience. These courses are amongst the toughest in the country, and thanks to the choice, there are excellent rates for a day on the course available.

The locals are friendly and eager to welcome visitors from all over the world, and they take great pride in their city. Be sure to explore the many modern bars around the redeveloped city center, or leave the urban areas behind in order to explore the historic landscapes that lie so close to Detroit, and offer a taste of the old west as well as a hint of the wilderness within easy reach of the city itself.
