You can also use Google Maps to find your way around. A few of the top attractions in Indianapolis include the City Market and the Bottleworks District. If you&#8217;re looking for something a little more local, try the historic neighborhoods of Lockerbie and Broad Ripple, where you can check out vintage shops, art galleries, and craft breweries. You can also enjoy a tasty ginger latte while walking the city&#8217;s main streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Downtown Indianapolis began building up in the early 1800s. Many of the buildings are still intact, and you can find plenty of photo opportunities with the restored exterior details. Downtown Indianapolis is home to many museums that showcase a wide range of cultural exhibits. Kids can visit the Indianapolis Zoo and Fountain Square. You can also enjoy the city&#8217;s cultural offerings by biking around the city on dedicated bike lanes and paved paths. For a unique way to experience downtown Indianapolis, consider taking a bike tour along the famous Cultural Trail. And don&#8217;t forget to hit the Monon Rail Trail for 26 miles of bicycle paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city has been nicknamed &#8220;naptown&#8221; and &#8220;Indiana no place.&#8221; Although Indianapolis is not a cultural hub, it is just as diverse as its Midwestern siblings. Indianapolis is home to the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the world&#8217;s largest children&#8217;s museum. Its numerous memorials and monuments are second only to Washington, DC. You&#8217;ll be glad you chose this city for your next vacation. This Midwest city is a great place to visit if you&#8217;re traveling to the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city is also home to more war memorials than any other city in the United States. The Indiana World War Memorial is the tallest in the state and is more than 200 feet tall. The Soldiers and Sailors Monument is another noteworthy monument in the city center. And if you&#8217;re looking for something a little more eccentric, check out the White Rabbit Cabaret. The Cultural Trail winds through the city&#8217;s cultural districts and neighborhoods, connecting the city&#8217;s coolest spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The state capital is also home to several popular landmarks and hotels. One of the best-known landmarks is the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, which stands over 284 feet high. The monument is made of Owen County grey limestone and offers an observatory and a gift shop. You can walk up to it or take an elevator to get up the 330 steps. You can also book a guided tour through the monument. If you&#8217;d rather not climb the 330 steps, you can take an express service from the airport to downtown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you love sports or not, Indianapolis is sure to have something to interest you. The Indianapolis Pacers and Colts are two of the best teams in the NFL. There are also several sports venues that you can check out, including the Motor Speedway Hall of Fame. And for those with a passion for history and culture, don&#8217;t miss the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. You can also catch the Brickyard 400 and Red Bull Moto GP at one of the two premier automobile tracks in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can get to know all the sights and sounds of downtown Indianapolis by taking a stroll.
