If you want to see the most local festivals and enjoy pleasant temperatures, summer is the best season to come to Ann Arbor. However, summer also brings many tourists exploring the University. Autumn or late spring will usually see fewer tourists, and the temperatures are still agreeable. Winters can be severe in Ann Arbor with low temperatures, ice and snow. Avoid visiting from December – February if you are not a fan of snowstorms. Festivals typically start in May and continue through September.
Most of Ann Arbor is safe, especially being a quaint university town. The safest areas are the north and north-western sections. The closer you get to Detroit, the more cautious you must be about the neighbourhoods you enter. The Ypsilanti neighbourhood has a higher crime rate and is not best for tourists; therefore, avoid the area if you can, especially at night.
TheRide is Ann Arbor’s public transportation system. It runs throughout the city centre and to the suburban neighbourhoods surrounding the universities. A single cash fare is $1.50 USD per person and gives you 90 minutes of ride time. A 1-day pass offers you the best deal for just $4.50 USD per person for unlimited rides.
