Bloomington is one of my favorite college towns to visit, packed with art, food, and natural beauty. Whether you're visiting to watch a game, visit a museum, or doing some hiking, Bloomington has something for everyone.
My favorite time to visit is in the fall when kids go back to school and I can have the city to myself.
Indianapolis International Airport (IND) is the nearest major airport. You will have to rent a car there and drive to Bloomington for bout 1.5 hours. If you are coming from Louisville, KY, it's a 2-hour drive.
If you don't want to drive, GoExpress and Greyhound connect Bloomington to other cities.
I like to stay at Graduate by Hilton Bloomington or Hyatt Place Bloomington.
