Detroit, USA | 2-3 Day Road Trip & Sightseeing Guide 🚗✨

My partner works in Detroit, so I stayed here for a while. I expected it to be boring (and maybe a little sketchy), but turns out this once-wealthy city still holds a lot of history and charm! If you're visiting, here’s a relaxed 3-day itinerary packed with must-see spots: Day 1: Industrial Wonders 🏭 📍 Henry Ford Museum Divided into four sections: auto history, racing, industry, and innovation. Mind-blowing to see how advanced America’s industrialization was over a century ago! Tons of exhibits on Ford’s impact beyond cars. 🎫 $36 | ⏳ Half a day Day 2: Downtown Vibes + NBA Game 🏙🏀 🚶 Downtown City Walk: Guardian Building – A vintage architectural gem. Spirit of Detroit Statue – The city’s iconic symbol. Joe Louis’ Fist – A powerful monument. Riverfront Walk – Sculptures, plazas, and corporate HQs (GM, Microsoft, Big 4 firms). Feels like Shanghai’s Lujiazui! ⏳ 2 hours 🏀 Evening: Catch an NBA game at Little Caesars Arena (just 2km from downtown). Tickets start at $24—easy to book via Google Maps! ⚠️ Pro tip: Avoid street parking downtown—towing risk! Day 3: Ann Arbor & U-M Adventure 🎓🍃 📍 University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) Hogwarts-like Law Library ✨ 2 Museums (Science + Art) Main Street – Shopping (outdoor brands) & global eats. ⏳ Half to full day | 🚗 Street parking available Bonus (if time allows): 🖼 Detroit Institute of Arts – Van Gogh, Monet, Picasso, and even A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (pointillism style). 🎫 $14 | ⏳ Half day Final Thoughts: Every city has its own flavor—Detroit’s is a mix of grit, history, and revival. 💙 #TravelForPassion #USATravel #Detroit #Michigan #TravelGuide #Ford #NBA #HiddenGems #MuseumHop #HarryPotterVibes #CityExploration 🚗🎨🏀
