Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Culture and heritage
Henry Doorly Zoo
Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo is distinguished by its immersive environments, including the covered desert, the interior tropical forest and the aquarium through glass tunnels. It is easy to spend several hours, because the visit is less like a succession of enclosures than a crossing of very different climatic worlds.
Culture and heritage
The Old Market
The Old Market keep the Omaha warehouses and cobbled streets, with brick facades, covered passages, galleries and restaurants in old commercial buildings. The area works mostly in the late afternoon or evening, when terraces and windows give thickness to the city centre.
Culture and heritage
Joslyn Art Museum
The Joslyn Art Museum The collections range from European art to American and Amerindian works, with a prominent place for the landscapes of the West and the visual accounts of the continent.
Nature and panorama
Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge
The Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge draws a light curve over the Missouri between Omaha and Council Bluffs. The crossing offers a clear view of the river, the banks and the skyline, with the simple pleasure of laying one foot in Nebraska and the other in Iowa.
