The down-low on Detroit


As a major port city with almost a million residents, Detroit offers a rental bus visitors a myriad of choices when it comes to entertainment. Although best known for its automotive industry, Detroit is also home to attractions related to music, history and the arts. Detroit has a continental climate, which makes its summers cooler and its winters warmer than other northern cities, perfect for visiting all year round with a bus, charter bus, coach bus, party bus, mini bus, passenger coach or school bus rented from Bus Rental Detroit.
When it comes to good entertainment during your rental bus visit to Detroit, it doesn't get any better than the Detroit Riverfront. Take in the incredible water views and enjoy free live concerts, the Detroit Riverfront is a great place to visit with your rental bus year round. During the summer, though, the Riverfront is one of Detroit's main destinations for both locals and rental bus visitors alike. The historical Merry-Go-Round is a favorite, as are the Tri-Centennial State Park amphitheater and the biking and walking paths alongside the water. The Detroit Electronic Music Festival and the International Freedom Festival are held here. So is the Detroit International Jazz Festival. Belle Isle Park, accessible via the MacArthur Bridge, has a nature center, golf course and wooded trails, for rental bus visitors wanting more nature activities.
Fort Wayne in Detroit is one of the few forts in the United States that sits within the limits of a city. Built in the 1840s to replace an early fort, most of the original buildings remain intact and are open to rental bus visitors. This includes the barracks, artillery ports, guardhouse and hospital. Both the Fort Wayne Military Museum and the Tuskegee Airmen, dedicated to African-American pilots who flew during WWII, operate in the premises. There are also Civil War reenactments, flea markets and festivals held here throughout the year. Guided tours of the buildings offer valuable information about the place and era to rental bus visitors.
Whether you're a fan of Motown or just curious about its history, this museum will give rental bus visitors to Detroit a chance to explore memorabilia, costumes and photographs of some of the most important stars of the century, including Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, Diana Ross and the Jackson 5. The museum itself is housed in a converted studio apartment, which is where Motown Records got its real start. The museum allows only guided tours, a surprising benefit given how much the workers know about the history and legend of the huge stars that got their start at Motown. The second floor of the museum houses the original recording studio and control room.
For a taste of Detroit’s rich immigrant history, the Greektown Merchant's Association hosts the annual Glendi celebration each spring, and the Greektown Arts Festival each summer. The Greektown Arts Festival gives rental bus visitors a chance to see art from local and regional Greek artists, listen to live music, and explore the shops and restaurants in Greektown. Glendi, also known as the "Taste of Greektown," features dozens of area restaurants and cafes serving traditional Greek delicacies, such as baklava, mousaka, spanakopita and tzatziki.
