10 Fun Things to Do in Detroit Michigan - Visiting My Hometown as a Tourist

I want to say as someone who grew up and lives in Virginia, Detroit is my favorite US city! I fell in love with the city when I first came to visit in 2014 right after the bankruptcy and I decided to volunteer at a tree farm with my mother in 2015. We both loved the architecture, the international riverfront, downtown, people mover, and the nice people in the Motor City. Sadly, my mother passed away 5/7/24 at the age of 70 from Bile Duct Cancer. I'm going back to Detroit next month to honor her by volunteering again and doing some more sightseeing including Motown Museum, The Henry Ford, Eastern Market, Tigers game at Comerica Park and the Detroit Institue of Arts! For you MOM! RIP

Just want to say as a Canadian across the river, I love Detroit. So many great things to do and it’s a city with a great vibe and great people. Often go to Detroit for sporting events (Tigers, Red Wings, Pistons and Lions) and live theatre. Have never had a negative experience. Thanks for the great video on a great city. Detroit is the Comeback City. 👏👏👍🇨🇦

So underrated, Detroit is on the top of my list to visit.

Downtown Detroit resident here for 16 years now and have never regretted one day. I love living here, so much to do , such nice people, incredible architecture and history, great restaurants and culture, museums first class entertainment shows at wonderful theaters, and really nice biking and walking trails. Bellisle is absolutely beautiful to spend a day out at around the water. Love this city, and I do love all four seasons, great video.

Love your love for Detroit! Milwaukee here :) Midwest doesn't get enough love

Grand Rapids native & current Detroit resident. Happy to see the city highlighted in a positive light. I fell further in love with this city upon each visit and decided to move here immediately after college 4 years ago.

I love seeing the hustle and bustle of Detroit and other major cities

Detroit is a city rising from the ashes. This city gets a bad rap. There is wonderful architecture, plenty of restaurants, beautiful natural scenery, a gorgeous riverside walkway, a city owned restored park island, casinos, a ton of hotels, major league sports teams, a world class art museum, just to name a few of the attractions. Detroit is indeed a city on the rise!!

I'm a Michigan native and I love the Detroit Riverwalk! I take my dog there and it's just a great place to walk.

i like how detroit is the most memed city in the world

Detroit one of my favorite cities 🏙️ and it’s a popular city too.

I'm so glad I searched for Detroit travel videos and found this. Your hometown looks beautiful and exciting. I think I'd enjoy visiting there.

AT MICHIGAN MY AUNTY RUTH USED TO LIVE AT HER OLD HOUSE AND SHE ALSO USED TO LIVE AT MICHIGAN.

We have never been to Detroit but seems like there is so much to do! Thanks for showing us around! The restaurant at the Renaissance center has such incredible views! I also added taking a boat tour first and taking a walk after by the Riverwalk on my to do list once we make it there. Your home is beautiful ❤️

Kudos to you for representing your city! 👏🏽 You highlighted some of my favorites. I’m also from Michigan, and have always loved the vibe and beauty of downtown. Keep up the excellent work!

Wow! Thank you for highlighting the beauty of Detroit!

So many great things to so. We were there many many uears ago and saw the Red Wings play at the Joe Louis Arena. We saw the Riverwalk from Windsor when we were there. Definitely need to make a trip back to Detroit for some more sightseeing.
