Urban Adventures - Detroit - Detroit's Rise, Fall & Renewal [USDB]
Trip style: Local Life & Culture, History & Heritage Language Tour: English Full Itinerary Get the local lowdown on a city that's seen its fair share of drama in recent years on this historical Detroit tour that takes you through the city's crazy past. Begin your Detroit tour at a cafe on Broadway, where you'll meet your local guide and head out onto the streets. From the minute you leave the meeting point you'll start seeing some famous Detroit landmarks, such as the 95-year old Detroit Athletic Club, the renovated Opera House, the vacant Wurlitzer Building, and the fine new downtown YMCA. Your local guide will be telling you all you need to know about these spots, and what they mean to the city of Detroit. Continuing on your tour in Detroit, see the site where one of the biggest department stores in the US once stood. When it closed in the 1980s, it left a hole in the city that hasn't been filled. There are not many stores in the old retail district, but apartments and lofts have brought some new life to the area. Next on this Detroit city tour, the Compuware Building from 2002 is worth a visit, for its 15-story atrium and colorful fountain. Outside that building you'll see a panorama that includes landmarks like the 47-story Penobscot Building from 1928, the Guardian Building from 1929, and the Renaissance Center from 1977, which is home to the tallest hotel in the entire Western Hemisphere (72 floors!) as well as the headquarters of General Motors. Then you'll see Campus Martius Park in the heart of downtown, which opened in 2004 and features an ice-skating rink in winter and activities year-round. It recently won an award as the nation's most transformative urban park, and is a fine example of how Detroit is making a serious comeback. A visit to the Guardian Building gives you a picture of the greatness of Detroit in the late 1920s. The lobby and banking room of this art-deco skyscraper are truly incredible. We'll take a stop here, and then we take a ride on the elevated People Mover, which has been moving people around downtown Detroit since 1987. From the Michigan Avenue Station, see the $800 Million MGM Grand Casino and hotel that were completed in 2008, and the new Rosa Parks Transit Center (named for "the mother of the Civil Rights Movement") with its dramatic canopies. If the weather is nice, we'll walk to a nearby hotel that's a great example of Detroit's rise, fall and renewal. When it opened in 1924 it was the tallest hotel in the world and one of the fanciest, but it closed in the 1980s and stood vacant for more than 25 years on a prominent street corner. Detroiters were thrilled when it reopened after a $200 million renovation as the wonderful, a proud moment in Detroit's history! A block down from here is one of the world's tallest vacant buildings at 36-storeys high. Your leader will tell you stories of its past and how it awaits a new life. Next, we visit the area near Grand Circus Park, which is full of examples of Detroit's rocky history. Here we'll find even more vacant buildings as well as legendary parks and music venues that have hosted the like of Bruce Spingsteen and Detroit's own Eminem. This gives us many more opportunities for your guide to let you in on all the local secrets behind them. It's one thing simply seeing these buildings, but to get to know the history behind them makes the experience even more special, especially when it comes from the mouth of a local! Our last stop will be at a local brewpub, where you can sip on a local beer or soft drink and continue to chat about Detroit with your local guide. The first drink's on us!
Kensington Palace & Diana Her Fashion Story
Diana: Her Fashion Story Diana: Her Fashion Story dokumentiert die Entwicklung des Stils der Prinzessin von den zurückhaltenden Kleidern ihrer ersten öffentlichen Auftritte bis hin zu dem von Glamour, Eleganz und Selbstvertrauen geprägten Stil ihres späteren Lebens. Von ihrer Verlobungen wurde alles, was Diana trug, genau unter die Lupe genommen. Diese Ausstellung zeigt, wie sie ihre besondere Rolle in der Öffentlichkeit ausfüllte und lernte, ihr Image zu nutzen, um Menschen zu inspirieren und sich für ihre Anliegen einzusetzen. Entdecken Sie exquisite und berühmte Outfits aus dem öffentlichen Leben der Prinzessin. Die Ausstellung zeigt eine außergewöhnliche Kollektion von Kleidungsstücken, die von den glamourösen Abendkleidern der 1980er Jahre bis hin zu den eleganten Catherine Walker Anzügen reicht, welche Dianas "Garderobe in den 1990er Jahren ausmachten. Zu den Ausstellungshighlights gehören die blassrosa Emanuel-Bluse von Lord Snowdon, die Diana 1981 für das Verlobungportrait getragen hat sowie Victor Edelsteins ikonisches tintenblaues Samtkleid, das Diana im Weißen Haus getragen hat, als die sie mit John Travolta tanzte. Ein blauer Tartan-Emanuel-Anzug, der Sie in den 1980er Jahren zu einem offiziellen Besuch in Venedig kleidete, wird erstmals öffentlich ausgestellt. Der Anzug wurde erst kürzlich von Historic Royal Palaces – der für den Kensington Palace verantwortlichen Wohltätigkeitsorganisation – auf einer Auktion wiederentdeckt und erworben. * Bitte beachten Sie, dass es zu Warteschlangen am Eingang der Ausstellung kommen kann. Der Kensington Palace dient der königlichen Familie seit dem seit dem 17. Jahrhundert als Residenz. Hier lebten Queen Victoria und Prinzessin Diana. Heute ist der Kensington Palace die offizielle Residenz von William und Kate. Die Highlights des Kensington Palace Die „Cabinet of Curiosities“ ist eine exklusive Sammlung von Gegenständen aus aller Welt, die von Queen Caroline zusammengetragen wurde. Die Queen's Gallery ist ein heller, luftiger Raum, indem Queen Mary ihren Freizeitbeschäftigungen wie Lesen oder Handarbeiten nachkommen konnte. Die prächtigen Königlichen Staatsunterkünfte prächtigen Zimmer, jedes größer als das letzte. Die großzügigen Zimmer der königlichen Staatsunterkünfte (King’s State Appartment) werden durch das beeindruckende King's Staircase verbunden. Das Treppenhaus mit Freskengemälden aus dem 18. Jahrhundert wurde von King Georg in Auftrag gegeben und führte Minister und Botschafter zum König in das Empfangszimmer (Presence Chamber) des Königs. Die King's Staircase ist die erste Verbindung zu den Zimmern, aus denen die King's State Apartments bestehen. All die Großen und Guten des georgianischen Londons wären diese Treppen hochgeklettert, um den König zu besuchen. Mit römischen Säulen, Mamorbüsten und elfenbeinfarbenen Wänden in ist die 1704 erbaute Orangerie ein weiteres Highlight bei der Tor durch das Kensington Palace. Gönnen Sie sich einen Augenblick der Ruhe in den prächtigen Schlossgärten, bevor Sie sich zurück in den Großstadtdschungel zurückkehren. Die Gärten waren über 100 Jahre Teil des Hyde Park und würden 1689 gründeten als Schossgärten vom übrigen Park getrennt und nach holländischem Vorbild mit Blumenbeeten und Buchsbaumhecken umgestaltet. König William, der aus Holland stammte, zu sollte sich so zu Hause fühlen. Die versunkenen Gärten (Sunken Gardens)– angelegt im Jahre 1908 – mit ihren klassischen Proportionen rufen stechen als Teil der Kensington Gardens hervor. Eine geschwungene Laube aus roter Linde mit bogenförmigen Sichtfenstern umgibt die versunkenen Gärten (Cradle Walk).
Jack the Ripper & Haunted London tour with fish & chips
Our tour begins with a coach drive direct to the dark side of London. The Theatre Drury Lane, said to be the most haunted theatre in London, your guide will tell you why! We see The Old Bailey - the site of numerous public hangings, drive along Fleet Street, home of Sweeny Todd - the demon barber of Fleet Street - and his accomplice, Mrs Lovatt, who was said to have baked pies from the flesh of his victims, selling them to unsuspecting customers. As the shadows lengthen, we approach London's East End, a hotbed of crime and vice in the 19th century. During the autumn of 1888, terror struck when Jack the Ripper came out of the fog and dimly lit alleys just long enough to stalk and butcher his five victims. We leave the coach and walk his death trail inspecting the murder sites, deciphering the evidence and discussing the suspects. We will see the 10 Bells Pub, built in 1752 where many of Jack the Ripper's victims were said to have drunk. To this day the case remains unsolved. This is a combination coach/walking tour and will finish at a traditional pub.
