Per the list, the best place to visit in Michigan in 2025 is Detroit. This standout destination was also named among the 50 best places to visit across the globe.
Here's what Travel + Leisure had to say about the Michigan destination named among the best places to visit in the world for 2025:
"If you weren’t one of the nearly 800,000 people who hit Detroit for the 2024 NFL Draft, 2025 may be the year you join those in the know. The city has its swagger back, as adaptive-reuse and ground-up projects are bringing new energy to its neighborhoods. “It really is a magical time in Detroit right now, and we hope people will come to check it out for themselves,” said Mayor Mike Duggan in an email to T+L. In the heart of downtown, the reimagined Book Tower is one hive of activity, with a Roost hotel, a Basque tapas bar called Kamper’s, and several high-end restaurants. It’s one of the latest projects from Bedrock, the prolific real estate firm founded by Dan Gilbert that’s helping reshape Detroit; the firm’s game-changing Shinola Hotel is another."
