Best time to visit Indianapolis

To get the most comfortable holiday experience in Indianapolis, visit during late spring (May) and autumn (September – October). Take note, though, since the Memorial Day weekend usually takes place during the last weekend of May. This is when the Indianapolis 500 takes place, and unless you’re a racing enthusiast, you’d best spend your time during the first few weeks of this month to avoid the crowds of racing fans. The summers (June – August) are pleasantly warm and bring in the highest volume of tourists. If you prefer to enjoy weather conditions such as this, be prepared to book flights and accommodation well in advance and pay higher hotel rates.

Visa & Customs

A U.S. visa is required to enter the United States of America. Make sure you have enough time for the application, processing and receiving of your visa before the date of your departure. You can get more information on what is required by contacting the United States Embassy in Pretoria (phone: 27124314000) or the United States Consulates in Cape Town (phone: 27217027493), Johannesburg (phone: 27112903000) and Durban (phone: 27313057691).

Health & Safety

It’s best to avoid the areas surrounding the downtown district: the majority of the east side; Haughville; the north side; and parts of the south side. The downtown area, Broad Ripple and Fountain Square districts, are relatively safe, due to the presence of police, even at night. Other than that, stay alert and remain vigilant as you would in any other city.
