Detroit City Walk reference 🚗

Detroit One-Day Itinerary: Riverfront, Landmarks & Free Fun (9k Steps + 3hrs Rides!) 🚶♀️ 1️⃣ Start at Detroit Riverfront (Free 2hr Parking!) 🚗 Park here first—you get 2 hours of free parking (total win!). Stand by the water, and you’ll see Canada (Ontario!) right across the river 🇨🇦—it’s wild how close it is! The border entry point is also nearby, so you might spot cars waiting to cross. 2️⃣ Walk Right: Canada Views + Spirit of Detroit Plaza 🌉 Keep walking along the river—you’ll pass huge cruise ships docked by the shore (they look so impressive up close!). After 10+ minutes, you’ll reach Spirit of Detroit Plaza and the famous Spirit of Detroit statue/building. Snap a photo here—it’s one of Detroit’s most iconic spots! 3️⃣ 10-Min Stop: Guardian Building (Mosaic Magic!) 🎨 Walk a few more minutes to the Guardian Building. Pop inside—you only need 10 minutes to soak up the beauty: Look for the vibrant mosaics and Moorish Revival decor (the tiles are stunning). Don’t miss the Tiffany clock we talked about earlier! It’s free to enter, so no excuse to skip this architectural gem. 4️⃣ Free Qline Ride: Wayne State + Fox Theater 🚊 Exit Guardian Building, then hop on the Qline—Detroit’s free downtown streetcar! Head north. Get off near Wayne State University (quick photo op of the campus) and Fox Theater—sadly, you can’t go inside easily, but the exterior’s classic design is worth a snap 📸. 5️⃣ Little Caesars Arena (New Stadium Vibes) 🏟️ Walk back from Fox Theater to Little Caesars Arena—it’s a modern stadium for concerts and sports. You don’t need tickets to wander the ground floor—check out the sleek design, then move on. 6️⃣ 18-Min Walk to Campus Martius Park (Beachy Escape!) 🏖️ Keep going, and you’ll reach Campus Martius Park—a downtown park with a tiny “beach” area (yes, sand in the city!). It’s super cozy—grab a bench if you need a rest, or just enjoy the relaxed vibe. 7️⃣ GM Headquarters (KAWS Statue Alert!) 🦸♂️ The park’s opposite GM Renaissance Center—walk over, and you’ll see a giant KAWS statue right outside the entrance! Go inside for 10 minutes to peek at the lobby (it’s fancy, and free to enter). #DetroitItinerary #DetroitTravel #FreeThingsToDoDetroit #DetroitLandmarks #MichiganCentral #ImaRamen #TravelGuide
