Home of the Hoosiers, the Colts, and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, there is no shortage of activities for Indianapolis visitors. Hop a flight to Indianapolis during basketball season and you’re likely to catch the Indiana University basketball team performing their best on the court. Made even more famous by the 1986 Gene Hackman movie of the same name, the Hoosiers are legendary in Indianapolis and continue to push their way through to the championships. Even non-basketball fans will get caught up in the Hoosier-hype. If your Indianapolis flight happens during football season, head to the RCA Dome and watch the Superbowl XLI champs in action. Need something a little more fast-paced? Indianapolis welcomes millions of travelers every May to witness one of the biggest spectator sports of the year – the Indy 500. Join the other Indianapolis travelers for a weekend of speed at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

If you’re not a sports fan, there’s still plenty to do and see in Indianapolis. The city is divided into six cultural districts that extend from the center of town. Chic boutiques, sidewalk cafes, live music bars and an over-abundance of eclectic restaurants line the city districts. During the summer months, the open-air Canal Walk state park features live concerts and festivals appealing to all personalities.
