One of the best ways to experience Detroit is by walking the city yourself. Sometimes we don't need a tour guide or specific instructions every minute of the day. Sometimes, freedom is the answer. The first place to tour is St. Anne's which is a church of the Victorian Gothic architectural structure. The beauty alone will make you appreciate art in a new kind of way. Continue on to the St. John's Episcopal church on the Fischer Freeway, again, is a unique church. And another church to mention is St. Albertus on Aubin St. The beauty, the history, the tours, etc. will make you appreciate our history and art. There are even gift shops along the way, so if a picture isn't good enough, stop by to get a small gift that will allow you to remember your wonderful architectural tour in the city of Detroit.
