Detroit

Welcome to Detroit! As the creators of swag, our impact resonates globally. Music wouldn't be music. Cars wouldn't be cars. Your world wouldn't be your world without us. We've been America's first and only UNESCO City of Design for a decade now, and the world keeps confirming it. Vogue says Detroit is having a moment. We'd argue it's a lot more than that. Wallpaper* named us City of the Year for 2026, MICHELIN put our restaurants and bars on the global map, and Travel + Leisure calls us the Midwest's most underrated city to visit. Come see for yourself why when we move, you move.

The Detroit Trip Planner puts you in the driver’s seat. Where will your next adventure take you?
