South Bend is best known as the home of the University of Notre Dame, whose Golden Dome, Basilica of the Sacred Heart and football tradition draw visitors from across the country. The city also has deep industrial roots as the former home of the Studebaker automobile company, and today it has a growing economy built around healthcare, education, advanced manufacturing and technology. Neighboring Mishawaka and Elkhart, the RV capital of the world, round out a busy regional economy in northern Indiana.
South Bend International Airport is just west of downtown and a short drive to campus, making it a convenient arrival point for private flights. On football weekends, flying private lets fans avoid long drives from Chicago, Indianapolis or Detroit and the crowded roads around the stadium. Parents, recruiters and business visitors also use private flights to visit campus or local companies in a single day. Visitors can explore Notre Dame’s campus, the East Race Waterway and the Studebaker National Museum, or take a short trip to the beaches of Lake Michigan and the Indiana Dunes.
