Detroit has reinvented itself in recent years, making it an exciting place to visit. The Great Lakes country experiences hot summers and icy winters, so it's most popular during the summer months. It's possible to find flight deals all year round, but if you enjoy snow, we recommend going during winter.
Detroit is known as the "Motor City"and the best way to get around is by car. The city is the original state capital of Michigan and is right on the border with Canada. It's a great place to base yourself, with Toronto in one direction and Chicago in the other.
With Detroit Metropolitan Airport being the main airport in Michigan, here's what's considered to be a good deal compared to the average cost of a flight from Australia to Detroit.
Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) is divided into McNamara Terminal and North Terminal. The terminals are connected by a free shuttle. The airport is located 27 kilometres from the city centre. Each terminal has its own well-signed Ground Transportation Center where travellers will find pre-arranged shuttles to hotels as well as rental car agencies. Look out for taxis or “Rideshare” signs here if you are using a service such as Uber. Rental cars can be pre-booked or arranged via a courtesy phone from the baggage claim area and the Ground Transportation Center. A car rental is the easiest way to get around and there is plenty of free parking in Detroit itself.
The Motor City, unsurprisingly, leaves a lot to be desired in terms of public transport. To connect to the rail network (Amtrak), you’ll need to take a shuttle bus or a taxi to the Amtrak station, which will take around 30 minutes. AirRide is a public bus serving the Ann Arbor area of Detroit and SMART public buses run to downtown Detroit. Both services serve both terminals but are a slow way of getting around.
