Top Attractions in Indianapolis

Indianapolis' claims to fame revolve mostly around sports. The Indianapolis 500, Brickyard 400 and the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals allow the city to boast the two largest single-day sporting events in the world and the world's largest drag race. Add in the Indianapolis Colts, the NBA Pacers and the NCAA headquarters, and it's easy to understand why sports can overshadow everything else the city has to offer.

If you take time to look around, though, you'll find that Indianapolis's pride extends well beyond the racecourse. Top-notch museums, a stellar downtown park and historic architecture are among the capital's many highlights.
