Tell Us Your Travel Tips for Detroit
Detroit is not a very tourist destination. But none of our most successful Hack Your City options like Pittsburgh or Minneapolis-St are either . Gender . This is “Hack Your City” for local residents and for everyone who happens to be in this city on a business trip or on a transfer. These aren’t exactly glory days for Detroit, but the area is home to over 3 million people – they definitely have something to do.
Every Monday onHack Your City, we ask readers for the best tips about the city: driving tips, restaurant tips, entertainment, and any other tips for visitors and locals alike. Then, on Thursday, we present the best comments. We work in the USA and around the world.
So Detroiters, what’s good about the city? What gets better, or what gets a bad rap? What’s wrong and how to deal with it? And what would you say to someone who scoffs, “Never go to Detroit?”
What is underestimated? Which places deserve a few more discerning visitors? What do you like most there, the highest taste? There is – a higher ranking in Detroit, and if so, what is the best alternative?
How should a visitor approach the city? What position should they take? What local traditions, behavior, and laws should they be aware of? How can they get along with people? What problems is the city solving now? When is the best time to visit: when will the weather be fine and what special events are worth going to?
How does it feel in the long run? Residents, what do you love and hate in the city? What is your advice to other locals? How do you drive to work, what is your daily cafe or where is the best place to watch? What mistakes do new residents make – what are the common misconceptions or incorrect pronunciations? Where do you go if you want to go out of town for a day or a week?
Finally, how has the atmosphere of the city changed over the past few years? What should someone know if they haven’t returned for a long time? Everyone knows the story of a “former industrial city,” but is it still applicable today as it did ten or two years ago?
Leave your tips in the comments below and we’ll highlight the best ones. (Make sure you add something new.) Then come back Thursday for a new post with highlights.
