South Bend is one of the fastest growing cities in Indiana. Currently just above one hundred thousand people call this college crossroads home. The elaborate, prestigious and not to mention beautiful Notre Dame University calls South Bend home. Much of the region’s travel and tourism is dependent on this, and if it’s your thing, check out the expansive campus, scrounge for tickets to a game, view the majestic basilica and tour the College Football Hall of Fame.

Besides hardnosed sports, check out the Studebaker National Museum or the Morris Performing Arts Center. Or, come in the fall. This region of the Indiana is particularly stunning when the leaves change.
