Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor's lovely tree-lined streets long ago earned the city its "Tree Town" nickname. It's home to more than 20 museums of art, science, and history; almost 150 parks and nature areas; annual music and art festivals attracting millions of visitors each year; and entertainment venues featuring world-class performers. Its lively downtown brims with galleries, shops, and restaurants of nearly every ethnicity.

Ann Arbor is easily accessible by air, train, bus, and car. It's a 90-minute plane ride from New York, Boston, and Washington, DC; and a four-hour drive from Chicago and Toronto.
