Before planning my visit, I did not know much about the city of Indianapolis, and I was definitely pleasantly surprised that there was so much more to do there than I originally thought, I kept thinking that maybe my trip shouldn鈥檛 have been such a speedy one. Indianapolis is the capital and largest city of the state of Indiana. It鈥檚 the third most populous city in the Midwest behind聽Chicago, Illinois聽and Columbus, Ohio and it鈥檚 also the fourth most populous state capital in the US. It鈥檚 higher than my city of Boston, which comes in sixth, I found this very surprising! Being such a large and populous capital city, the downtown area was full of energy, with plenty to see and do.

As someone who has never watched a car race in my life, I can honestly say it is worth visiting even if you are not a race car fan. Located inside the speedway is the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum.
