| Canal District |
Indy boasts a veneer of tough sporty types, but beneath all the bravado, this is a sentimental city with a sweet touch of romance waiting to be discovered. Pack a picnic basket, grab a blanket, and head for the west side of downtown. Lead your sweetheart away from the traffic into an area of serenity and beauty - the Canal District.
This is a place of blooms and birds, fountains and flowing water. Flop down in the grass to enjoy your sandwiches, talk to each other without interruption, and give in to the languid relaxation of being with someone you love. Hire a paddleboat if you are adventurous, or spend the day in a haze of delight as you float down the canal in a gondola. Drift under bridges and bowers as the fast-paced city pulsates all around you and lose yourselves in this hidden Eden.
