Grab the keys to your Model T and turn up the Motown music as you drive through Motor City. While your flight to Detroit might be music-less, there’s no stopping the beat once you hit the streets. Detroit got its nickname, “Motor City,” after Henry Ford rolled the first car off the assembly line in Detroit. Today, Detroit is still centre for automobile production but there’s more than Ford Thunderbirds and classic Mustangs gracing this city.
Tourists booking a holiday in Detroit will find themselves in the entertainment hub of the Midwest. Many travellers head straight to Hitsville USA, where the Motown Sound comes to life and continues to play. But there are other attractions for visitors to Detroit. The Detroit Museum of Art and the Renaissance Centre are popular with tourists, while sports fans will want to book flights to Detroit during football season and cheer on the NFL Lions, or during hockey season and root for the Detroit Red Wings.
Getting from the Airport to the City
Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) is located 26 miles west of the city. Visitors generally drive from the airport to the city centre, and there are car rental agencies both on and off the airport. Taxi services to the centre and public transport options are also available. The Ground Transportation page of the airport website has detailed information.
