Detroit Sightseeing
Sightseeing Overview
Downtown Detroit is undergoing a rapid transformation, and is increasingly becoming a cultural hot spot. Nestled near the riverfront is the Joe Louis Arena, home of the Detroit Red Wings hockey team, the Cobo Conference Exhibition Center, which houses the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame, and the Renaissance Center, which houses the world headquarters of General Motors.
Move slightly to the north and visitors can experience the heart of the Downtown area, with numerous casinos, museums and galleries, not least the historic Detroit Opera House. To the east is Greektown, which is the lively setting for numerous Greek restaurants and bars. This is where Downtowner's come to eat, drink, relax and in some cases, sing a bit of karaoke.
The culture hounds head to Woodward Avenue, with its plethora of monuments and theatres, as well as up-market clubs and bars.
Cutting through it all is the meandering Detroit River, which separates the US from Canada.
