Always fun (for some reason) to take the tunnel to / from Windsor. The US / Canada flags marking the international border are always fun to see. Then, you pop up in a different country! Be sure to stop at the Duty Free Store!! More

Its' a tunnel, gets you from Windsor to Detroit. Usually backed up and stuck inside the one lane claustrophobic underground tube. Glad we have it to get back and forth, but it's a tunnel. How do you review that? More

A little harder to navigate to, but the tunnel is an experience and brings you right downtown as well as linking you to the major highways. More
