The "Land of the Indians" has a long history and is considered one of the most hospitable U.S. cities. You'll have a chance to feel it while walking, cycling, or even jogging with your own smartphone-guided audio tour along the Indianapolis Cultural Trail!
The accessible 8-mile green path winds through downtown’s signature landmarks focusing on historical sites, public art, and nature.
You'll start from Fountain Square, an artistic neighborhood with an old-fashioned atmosphere. Then, get to the Wholesale District in the heart of downtown Indianapolis where you will learn why it is the racing capital of the world! It's also a place for the oldest and the most haunted Indiana bar (The Slippery Noodle) with shotgun blasts in the walls, put there by John Dillinger himself.
Next, you will see the most elaborate building in the city, Indiana Repertory Theatre, and continue to the Market East district ripe with farmers offering outstanding produce. After that, pop into numerous eclectic shops, art galleries, and theaters along Mass Avenue and proceed to the luminous Glick Peace Walk to hear about famous people who made peaceful contributions to humanity such as Thomas Edison, Abraham Lincoln, the Wright Brothers, and more.
The tour will end at the White River State Park which is perfect for nature lovers! Here, you'll be able to feed the giraffes at the Indy Zoo or witness a baseball game at Victory Field.
