When you set foot on the Notre Dame campus, you will understand why words so often fall short. There is a feeling here, a sense of purpose, of pride in something greater than yourself. Maybe it is the peacefulness of the Grotto, the hush of the Basilica, the roar of a crowd, or the laughter of students in residence halls. Whatever it is, it’s real. And unforgettable.
Notre Dame invites you to see what makes us different, and what draws people back, again and again.

Notre Dame is one of Indiana’s most-visited destinations—and a guided tour is the best way to understand why. Led by students and launched from the Eck Visitors Center, our tours highlight signature sites such as the Golden Dome, Basilica of the Sacred Heart, the Grotto, and the Word of Life mural (“Touchdown Jesus”). Public tours are free and available throughout the year—just register in person on the day of your visit. Tours of Notre Dame Stadium are scheduled separately.
If you’re planning a conference, wedding, retreat, or corporate meeting, Notre Dame offers one-of-a-kind venues, expert catering, and the kind of hospitality only Notre Dame can provide.
