Book Indianapolis hotels

Prepare to get paddled in Indiana with a visit to Indianapolis. Known for their scenic canal, university spots, and oh, a little thing called the Indy 500, this city is where it’s at. Located in the Midwest, Indianapolis is home to four seasons and plenty of drunk university kids piling out of a local sports game.

Sold on a holiday to this enthusiastic city? Good! Pack your bags, pick out your Indianapolis accommodation and we’ll see you there.

Things to Do in Indianapolis

When you tell people you’re going to see Indy, you don’t mean Indiana Jones (though that’d be pretty sweet too…). No, traveller, you’re doing to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where the Indy 500 occurs each May. Even if you’re not here for the biggest event, you can still check out the on-site museum and take the narrated bus ride.

Next up, head to the Indiana Central Canal where you can rent a kayak or one of those paddle boats built for two. We won’t judge.

Got a hankering to see professional sports? Well shoot, you’re in luck. Indianapolis is home to the Colts (American football), Pacers (basketball) and Bulldogs (university basketball). Don’t be alarmed by the yelling. It’s a crazy crowd. Who knows? Maybe you’ll be shouting in happiness too, over the money you saved on your Indianapolis holiday package!

Getting To & Around Indianapolis

If you left your sports car at home, you can still arrive in style by landing at Indianapolis International Airport (IND), located 40 km from downtown. From there, take a shuttle, bus or take a look at car hire options (at lastminute.com.au, of course!) to get to your Indianapolis accommodation.
