Indianapolis, colloquially known as Indy, is the capital of the state of Indiana (hence its name) and the Seat of Marion County. Located in the center of the state, in the Nine Counties Region, it is the largest city. Efforts to beautify and modernize the city have brought Indianapolis into the 21st century as a premier destination for everything from business meetings and trade conventions to cross-state backpacking. Indianapolis is widely hailed as the "Racing Capital of the World" for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, home of the Indy 500 and Allstate 400 at the Brickyard, and as the "Amateur Sports Capital of America" for hosting the NCAA.Friendly, modern and hospitable, this is Indianapolis, with rich cuisine, craft beers, an exciting urban scene and more than sixty works of public art.There are many places we recommend visit: Fountain Plaza (hipster paradise), where you will find the best art galleries, avant-garde music and good cafes in one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city; White River State Park, 200 acres of urban green space with world-class museums, live outdoor music venues and public art; Georgia Street, Indianapolis' pedestrian waterfront, where you'll find food trucks on the street waiting for pedestrians to stop for a bite to eat; “Cultural Trail,” an urban path for pedestrians and cyclists that connects the cultural districts of Indianapolis, allowing visitors to experience the city from a different perspective; and at the end of a long day of sightseeing, sit back and relax with a cold beer at one of the city's 17 craft breweries and don't miss a live blues show at John Dillinger's old haunt or Rub shoulders with Hollywood actors or professional athletes at the 1933 Lounge bar, located above the renowned St. Elmo Steakhouse.
