14 Things to See and Do in Detroit (Updated 2025)

"I make a point of visiting the 36-floor Guardian Building downtown — completed in 1929 and a National Historic Landmark — because the interior lobby is incredibly ornate and cathedral-like, and the building is an essential example of Art Deco architecture (the building is open 24/7 and admission is free)." - Matthew Kepnes
