One of the industrial and auto epicenters of the United States actually happens to be the one of the most populous cities in the entire world that is not connected to the sea and that does not host a major port.

But football and racing aside, this city does indeed have many cool sights to offer visiting tourists. To better help you enjoy an amazing vacation to this great city, make sure that you take some notes on the following top five must-see places that are not to be missed when you travel to Indianapolis.

This is well done, but really, there are better things to see in Indy. I would have liked to have seen the Zoo included, or some of the river walks… And there’s some really great (and overlooked) museums! The Eiteljorn was one of my childhood favorites — along with the Children’s Museum of course! (Which, btw, is the largest children’s museum in the world.) There’s a lot going on in Indy… and from an Indiana native, I would have liked to see more on your guide. Otherwise, it’s well done. :)
