Nebraska has wonders in every direction: vast prairies in the east, majestic canyons and peaks in the west, and sand dunes in the middle, making the journey as beautiful as it is fun. The state is also rich in history, with several
opportunities to explore its heritage. Stroll through the Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park, venture along the Lewis and Clark Trail, or explore a historic military fort.
It is here that rodeo was born, where important sites from the pioneer era and historic roads
led settlers to the Old West.
Enjoy the beautiful sunset with the Sandhills in the background, and you will understand what made settlers cross the prairies and rivers to claim their part in history. Farm tours, friendly ranches
and farm-to-table food reveal the warmth of their descendants.
And when they offer you a steak, don’t refuse: they are among the best in the world. It’s easy for you to become an explorer here, with an expansive,
rustic, and beautiful landscape to walk, climb, or bike.
Omaha means “those who go against the wind or current,” and that’s exactly what the most populous city in Nebraska, with agricultural roots, does. This is the kind of place where the
old gains new life, where you can be a cowboy and an independent rock star at the same time, or where you can witness a Native American gathering and visit a brewery in the next moment. Do you think tech hubs are concentrated on the East and West coasts of the United States? The region known as Silicon Prairie welcomes you. Think Nashville produces the best in music? Listen to the songs recorded at Saddle Creek Records in Omaha.
Most of Omaha’s cultural institutions are located along the Missouri River, in the Old Market area. In Old Market, you’ll find the Bemis Center
for Contemporary Arts, the Omaha Children’s Museum, Durham Museum, and the Joslyn Art Museum. Take the opportunity to catch a performance at the Creighton Orpheum Theatre or visit the Hot Shops Art Studio. Admire the view from the center of the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge, which connects Nebraska to Iowa.
Take a gondola ride on the Missouri River at Heartland of America Park or visit the Lewis and Clark Landing park. Omaha is also a great destination for birdwatching, at places like Chalco Hills Recreation Area, Zorinsky Lake Park, or Fontenelle Forest.
