After an eventful time in Toronto, we set off in the early afternoon for one of North America's greatest natural wonders – Niagara Falls. Although the journey is only about 130 kilometers, it took us almost two hours. Heavy Sunday traffic and the upcoming Victoria Day – a Canadian holiday – made the roads very busy.
Our day in Toronto began with bad weather, as the forecast had predicted. The view out the window showed low-hanging clouds, rain, and wind—not ideal conditions for exploring the city. We spontaneously changed our plans and decided to spend the day indoors.
On our road trip through the Midwest of the USA, a stop in Detroit, the "Motor City", was of course a must. Detroit is a city full of contrasts that fascinates with its lively art scene, historic architecture and exciting history. Just around the corner is Ann Arbor, a charming university town with cosy cafés, independent bookshops and green parks.
When we were looking for a good hotel for our city trip to Chicago, we came across the Hilton Chicago. Find out whether this luxury hotel on Michigan Avenue was a good choice in our hotel review.
Our journey continues through Michigan's picturesque landscapes, from the charming seaside town of Traverse City to the cultural and culinary treasures of Frankenmuth and the shopping opportunities of Birch Run. Experience the incredible diversity of this region, from the gentle waves of Lake Michigan to the German half-timbered houses and vibrant outlet centres. Join us on our amazing road trip through the breathtaking Great Lakes State!
Our second day in Traverse City got off to a very leisurely start and we didn't set off on our tour until around 10.00 am. We drove to the Old Mission Peninsula, a headland that juts out into Grand Travers Bay.
In the second part of our road trip through the Midwest of the USA, we travelled further north into Michigan. Our destination for the day was the Sleeping Bear Dunes, which are located near the "Cherry Capital" of Traverse City. This place has a special meaning for me. You can find out more about it in our blog post.
For this year's annual holiday, we decided to visit the Midwest of the USA. In line with our travel plans, LOT Polish Airlines published an offer for Premium Economy to Chicago. Find out in the review to what extent LOT Premium Economy in the Boeing 787-9 is an insider tip on long-haul flights.
After two eventful days in Chicago, we now start our road trip through the Midwest of the USA. Our first destination was the city of Cadillac in the state of Michigan. On the way we visited the biggest tulip festival in Holland. What else we visited, you will find out in the following article.

For our trip to the USA this year, we tried out LOT's Premium Economy. Thanks to our Star Alliance Gold status, we were able to visit the LOT Polish Airlines Elite Club Lounge during our stopover at Warsaw Airport. You can find out whether we had a pleasant stay there in the review.
