A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
Among the 20 largest cities in the United States, Indianapolis tends to fly under many travelers’ radars. While sports fans know the Hoosier State’s capital for basketball, football, and the renowned Indianapolis 500, residents appreciate Indiana’s capital city for its diverse cultural attractions as well.
While the Hoosier state capital is perhaps best known as the home of the Indy 500, Indianapolis is more than just a city for racing enthusiasts. It’s a place where public art, professional sports, bikeways, universities, museums, and parks meld together in one dynamic city.
One of the country’s premiere urban bike/pedestrian paths, the Indianapolis Cultural Trail connects five downtown cultural districts and is accented by stunning gardens, green spaces, and public art installations. Five years after its 2013 grand opening, the eight-mile greenway has become a destination for 1 million people a year: local business leaders biking to and from work, families out for leisurely strolls with kids and dogs in tow, and sports fans heading from downtown hotels to Colts or Pacers games.
