Detroit
Motown music, Greektown food and automotive heritage
Take flights to Detroit for automotive museums, riverfront sports arenas and lively music that thumps into the night.
Things to do
Relive a century of Detroit cars, strolling past boxy, black Model Ts, powerful muscle cars and race cars. Robotic arms swing into action and sparks fly in a modern truck factory, all at the Henry Ford Museum.
Shopping
Browse the music racks at the Motown Historical Museum, where the energetic rhythms of the Jackson 5 and the close harmonies of Diana Ross and the Supremes fill the air with the sounds of 1960s Detroit.
Restaurants
The mouth-watering scents of freshly baked pitta and roasted lamb greet visitors to Detroit’s Middle Eastern neighbourhoods. Fill your plate with grilled kebabs and thick hummus in the Arab American community of Dearborn on your Detroit city break.
Nightlife
Book flights to Detroit in time to catch the crowd’s roar at professional hockey games in winter. In summer, cool off with a hot dog and a cold beer, relaxing in the sunshine while catching a baseball game at Comerica Park.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Detroit. See the latest automotive genius at the International Auto Show in January, or watch historic muscle cars travel Detroit’s streets at the Woodward Dream Cruise parade in August.
