The Arts & Design District –Located in the heart of Old Town Carmel, the Arts & Design District features trendy art galleries, restaurants, boutiques and shops. And with the January 2011 opening of the city’s new state-of-the art concert hall, The Palladium, the Arts & Design District becomes a hub for culture.

The Monon Trail – A former railway track is now a premier pedestrian path which runs 5.2 miles from Carmel to Indianapolis where it connects with the Monon Greenway. Along the way, the Monon links commercial districts, schools, parks, the state fairgrounds and a more than a dozen residential neighborhoods. Depending on the time of year, you can walk, run, cycle or cross country ski on the trail. You’ll also find plenty of interesting places to stop along the way, including another Carmel hot spot, the Clay Terrace mall! www.indygreenways.org/monon/monon.htm
