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. Indy natives rally behind the city's pro franchises -- the NBA's Pacers, the WNBA's Fever, the NFL's Colts, and the Indianapolis Indians, whose beautiful, cozy downtown stadium has been voted one of the "best small ballparks in America."

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: the Lockerbie Square district downtown with renovated Victorian homes on cobblestone streets; the shops, restaurants, and art galleries along Massachusetts Avenue downtown; and Broad Ripple Village, a canal-side neighborhood with boutiques, restaurants, and nightlife.
