Guide Note

The premier tour in Indianapolis is likely that of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway grounds—the "Brickyard" has been around for about a century now, and still ranks as the biggest sporting facility ever when taking into account both the stands and the infield.

Otherwise there are many other historic site tours, arts and museum tours, and even "ghost walks" and tours to take in during your stay in Indianapolis and its surrounding areas.
