15 Best Things To Do in Detroit, Michigan

While most people are not entirely ecstatic at the idea of vacationing in Detroit, the city’s real beauty and worth are often overlooked by tourists coming to Michigan. First off, the Belle Isle Island is a small three-mile island that has just enough island feels for the nature enthusiasts to make it their sanctuary in Detroit.

Secondly, the Detroit Public Library is another iconic building in the city, standing tall since 1865, when it only had 5000 books. Today, the library is not only on the United States National Register of Historic Places but also has countless books, although the main attraction is the building itself. The architecture is bound to blow you away and change your views about Detroit.
