Arguably the hippest town in Michigan, Ann Arbor is the home of the University of Michigan, which mingles its campus buildings with city attractions. The university, one of the largest in the United States, brings a cultural and artistic bent to the area, where galleries and museums abound. The downtown area offers exceptional shops, including the flagship Borders bookshop, as well as a variety of eateries. While summer months are usually quiet in Ann Arbor, for four days in July, the city closes off downtown streets and welcomes tens of thousands of visitors for the Street Art Fair, where artisans and craftspeople set up displays and sell works of art. City parks provide opportunities for outdoor activities, including walking, hiking, and cycling.
