For a memorable musical experience, visit the Detroit Opera House. Home to the Michigan Opera Theatre, this lavish building offers seating for up to 2,700 guests in its finely-crafted interior. Stop by this entertainment venue for one of the many productions: five operas, five dance performances and a medley of other musical and comedic events.

Experience art in the great outdoors when you visit the Heidelberg Project in the city’s east side. A project begun by artist Tyree Guyton and his grandfather, Sam Mackey, this project has drawn the interests of artists and non-artists worldwide and sparked hope in the impoverished Heidelberg Street by using bright paint and salvaged items to transform dilapidated houses into colorful works of modern art. This unique attraction is definitely one of Detroit's must-see destinations.
