Detroit is a total travel-friendly destination, so when you come for the 2015 USA Volleyball Open National Championships, you may find that you'll want to return at a later date to experience everything The D has to offer. Because, let's face it, you can't do it all in a few days. Here are seven reasons you'll love Detroit:
Detroit is easy to get to. Detroit Metro Airport is a Delta Hub and a 90-minute flight - or less - from 60 percent of the country's population. Once you're here, getting to downtown is a breeze with our multitude of direct transportation services, such as SKOOT, Uber and others.
Detroit is walkable. Downtown Detroit spans about 1.39 square miles - an easy walk from one hot spot to the next. You'll be surprised how quickly you can wander from the Detroit RiverWalk to Greektown, especially if you're taking in the sights as you go.
Detroit has first-class accommodations. Our stunning and award-winning hotels take the cake when it comes to welcoming and accommodating guests.
Detroit has first-class dining options. If you're looking to splurge on a great meal, Detroit is ready and waiting. Just a few fancy downtown options include Coach Insignia, Roast, London Chop House and Texas de Brazil.
Detroit has a state-of-the-art, newly renovated convention center. Cobo Center has invested $279 million in making its space all that convention attendees expect and more. Aside from having a glass-enclosed atrium that overlooks Canada, it also boasts a living roof and TV production studio.
Detroit is affordable. Detroit's affordability makes visitors giddy. With diverse dining options, budget-friendly outings and affordable shopping, you can have the experience you want without breaking the bank.
Detroit has culture - and lots of it. For starters, we're the home of cars and Motown, so if you're looking for museums filled with history, we've got them. Explore as much as you'd like by taking a tour, guided or self-guided. Just a taste will have you hungry for more.
