I took this photograph facing southwest on the rooftop of Opera House Parking Garage, situated right in the heart of Detroit city. It overlooks some of iconic buildings of the city, including the Metropolitan Building and the Book Tower Building.
I recommend parking on the street in the nearby block and then walking to the parking garage. Once you're inside the building, just take the elevator to the rooftop and face toward the city. You can also get to the parking garage by public transportation and short walk.
By Detroit People Mover:
