Welcome to Indianapolis
As the capital and most populated city in Indiana, Indianapolis brings together dynamic entertainment options with government. It is the 12th largest city in the U.S. with a population of about 843,000, attracting roughly 26 million annual visitors. Downtown, visitors can find shops, restaurants and cultural events throughout the year, and shoppers will be pleased to discover everything from antiques to candy stores to jewelry boutiques. Like other cities in the Midwest, Indianapolis experiences a four-season climate, with temperatures peaking in the 90s during the summer and dropping to the 20s come winter.
But no matter the season, leisure and business travelers flock to the great city of Indy. Indianapolis and Marion County have a consolidated government known as Unigov, and most government offices are located in the City-County Building. From the capitol to downtown attractions, public transit makes getting around easy. Look into IndyGo for bus information, otherwise you can rent a bike to peddle around the city. There are also cabs and rental cars available throughout Indy.
