🇺🇸 North America Summer Trip | Detroit Downtown One-Day Adventure 🚗
Route (North to South) 📍 Sweetest Heart of Mary Church ⛪ (15 mins) A stunning historic Polish church. Google’s Saturday hours were wrong—Sunday mass was lively, with a super-friendly priest! 📍 Eastern Market 🎨 (30 mins) Detroit’s flea-market vibe. Sundays = artsy but old-school trinkets. Highlight: A duo playing viola! 🎻 📍 Guardian Building 🏦 (15 mins) Orange-hued BOA tower—free Sunday parking! Peek inside (P7) for gorgeous Art Deco details. 📍 The Spirit of Detroit ✊ (10 mins) The city’s new landmark at the main street’s end. 📍 Detroit Riverwalk 🌊 (30 mins) Stroll along the riverfront—Canada is just a stone’s throw away! 📍 GM Renaissance Center 🚗 (10 mins) Car displays + mall (closed weekends), but great for AC breaks! 📍 Belle Isle 🏞️ A massive park with gardens, aquariums, beaches, and even a casino. Skip if short on time (Riverwalk suffices). 📍 Ford House 🏡 (90 mins) Buy tickets onsite ($15). Tour Ford’s mansion (spot the mahjong table!), then wander the lakeside estate (watch for geese poop!). 📍 Saab Sis Thai 🍜 "Detroit’s best Thai food"—packed at dinner! Must-tries: Pad Thai + Thai iced tea. 🌶️ Warning: Even "mild" red curry is fiery! Final Stats & Vibes 15,000+ steps 👟 Downtown feels quiet but not dirty—glimpses of its past glory remain. Rooting for its comeback! #DetroitDayTrip #MotorCity #HiddenGems #UrbanExplorer #TravelUSA 🏙️🚶♂️
