Most people book Detroit flights for business, but there are plenty of other reasons to visit the Motor City with Globehunters. This sprawling city on the banks of Lake Michigan has long been associated with the automotive industry and continues to draw car enthusiasts from far and wide for some of its industry events.

Why Book Detroit Flights?

Also known as ‘The D’, Detroit still plays a big part in the automotive industry today. Every January, Detroit hosts the North American International Auto Show which keeps car fans and industry professionals booking Detroit flights every year.

Detroit’s weather is very cold in winter but that makes for some fantastic ice skating in the Campus Martius Park in the city centre. The city is far warmer in summer and there are several interesting events for those booking cheap flights to Detroit to enjoy.

In August fans of all things automotive flock to the Woodward Dream Cruise – a one day, multi-centre celebration of cars of all shapes and sizes. Slightly later in the year over Labor Day weekend in early September, the Detroit International Jazz Festival wows the crowds with live performances from the leading lights of the jazz world.

Many formerly urban areas of Detroit have been regenerated as lush green spaces which gives the city an unexpected rural feel in parts. The regeneration of Detroit in recent years is epitomised by the Detroit International Riverfront – a collection of parks, restaurants, shops and skyscrapers. There is no shortage of shopping malls dotted around the rest of the city for anyone that needs some retail therapy.

Detroit’s distinctive skyline is dotted with skyscrapers including: One Detroit Centre, the Penobscot Building, the collection of RenCen Towers. The city is also home of the tallest all hotel building in the world: Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center.
