Must-see attractions
Detroit Institute of Arts
Detroit
　　The DIA holds one of the world's finest art collections. The centerpiece is Diego Rivera's mural Detroit Industry, which fills an entire room and reflects the city's blue-collar labor history. Beyond it are Picassos, Caravaggios, suits of armor, modern African American paintings, puppets and troves more spread through 100-plus galleries....
Fisher Building
Detroit
　　This 1928 masterpiece from the man who built Detroit, Albert Kahn, has an imposing art deco exterior made from Minnesota granite and Maryland marble, and an interior to rival any Italian cathedral. From the soaring vaulted ceilings, featuring an array of intricate, hand-painted patterns, to the sparkling mosaics by Hungarian...
Scarab Club
Detroit
　　The Scarab Club transports you back a century to a gilded age of arts appreciation when costumed balls and visits by Diego Rivera and Norman Rockwell were the norm. The 1928 building’s gorgeous interior is stuffed with Tiffany lamps and objets d’art. Browse whatever exhibition is showing in the main...
Campus Martius Park
Detroit
　　This public space in the heart of Detroit's downtown is the perfect spot to while away a sunny afternoon. A fountain dots the middle, surrounded by umbrella-shaded tables. Beside it, a sandy beach with lounge chairs appears in warmer months; in winter, the space becomes the city's most popular ice...
Guardian Building
Detroit
　　Commissioned as a 'cathedral of finance,' this distinctive, 40-story, redbrick building with green and white accents was the world's tallest masonry structure when it opened in 1929. The interior is a colorful explosion of marble, mosaic and murals that draw from Aztec, art deco and local influences. It's certainly the...
Heidelberg Project
Detroit
　　Polka-dotted streets, houses covered in Technicolor paint blobs, strange doll sculptures in yards – this is no acid trip, but rather a block-spanning art installation. It's the brainchild of artist Tyree Guyton, who wanted to beautify his run-down community and has been at it for more than 30 years. It's...
Belle Isle Park
Detroit
　　Pretty Belle Isle floats in the Detroit River. The entire expanse is parkland where kayaking, walking trails and a glass-domed conservatory await. There's a beach, zoo, aquarium and maritime museum, too. Once you pay the entry fee, the individual sights are free. The cycling here is terrific. ...
Eastern Market
Detroit
　　One of the oldest and largest year-round bazaars in the United States, Eastern Market draws Detroiters of all types to its six-block spread of wares. Looking for a vegan rum-raisin donut? Grow-your-own mushroom kit? Duck sausage? Fragrant lilac bush? Vendors sell these items and more along the market's brick halls...
Baker's Keyboard Lounge
Detroit
　　Come for the music, stay for the top-notch soul food – Detroit's longest continuously operating jazz club has made it through 85 years of ups and downs for a reason. It's a character-filled, time-capsule of a space. Tables cluster around the small stage, or sit at the curving art-deco bar,...
Packard Plant
Detroit
　　Renowned architect Albert Kahn designed this 3.5-million-sq-ft factory, which opened in 1905, but after years of neglect it became one of Detroit's most iconic ruins. Now, a Peruvian developer has plans to turn it into an office and entertainment complex over the next decade. Phase one of the project broke...
The Belt
Detroit
　　In the alley between Broadway and Library Sts, that links Grand River and Gratiot Aves, The Belt is part art installation and part nightlife destination. Psychedelic murals cover the walls of the buildings, while hidden doors lead to cocktail bars. The Z parking garage at the alley’s southeast corner also...
Sister Pie
Detroit
　　Owner Lisa Ludwinski (a 2019 James Beard Award finalist) and her army of female bakers create amazing treats at this corner storefront. The milk chocolate chess, salted maple, marshmallow butterscotch and other flaky-crust pies are fabulous, and the perfectly soft peanut-butter paprika cookies will spoil your taste buds forevermore. Everything...
