With a population of approximately 673,000 people, Detroit is the most populated city in the state of Michigan. Michigan is located on the border between America and Canada, while Detroit itself shares a border with its Canadian neighbors.

The city boasts a very proud past, having once been considered the automobile capital of the world thanks to its huge automotive industries. While the industry isn’t what it used to be in Detroit, the city is still home to one of the world’s largest automobile manufacturers: The Ford Motor Company. If you find yourself in Detroit you will find no shortage of things to do and we have highlighted some of the most popular.

1. Michigan Central Station

This grand building, which stands at 230 feet high, was constructed in 1913 and was the tallest railway station in the world at the time. It was designed by the same architects that worked on New York’s famous Grand Central Terminal.

Sadly, the station is currently out of use. The station was closed in 1988 after Detroit’s economic decline. It is not completely out of use and it has been used as a backdrop for Hollywood movies, including the Transformers. There have been moves to have the building demolished, but plans for demolition have so far been halted by people that wish to preserve the building.
