Travel Media

Indianapolis is one serious sports town. The Indianapolis 500 and Brickyard 400 attract hundreds of thousands of visitors to the city in May and August. The city also bills itself as the "Amateur Sports Capital of the World," and boasts world-class sports facilities. In its passion for sports, however, the city does not neglect the arts. In addition to a few notable art museums, Indianapolis also has neighborhoods worth exploring.
