City/town information
Omaha as a city is growing, but it maintains a small town feel. Some of the charm of Omaha is found in the old neighborhoods, offering good eats from family-run businesses, independent stores that offer something from local artisans and global finds alike, and the warmth of the midwest community to help you feel welcome.
Special attractions include The Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, The Durham Museum, Omaha Children’s Museum, Lauritzen Gardens, The Orpheum Theater, Stadium and many other coveted places and historic sites.
Historic meets hip in areas such as Blackstone, offering stylish spots to eat and drink. Dundee is as beautiful in the small business area as it is in the neighborhood itself. Zipping by foot, bike or car is a treat in any season to see what landscape, decorations, and historical homes decorate this coveted neighborhood. Neighboring Benson has its charm as well, a hipster and earthy place with shops, live music and great food!
Don't forget Midtown and its live free music events on the green. ...or South Omaha to eat authentic, south of the border cuisine. The colorful streets, art, food and hospitality is a must Each area has its own quaint identity, but this city is replete with revitalized neighborhoods with a strong heartbeat.
The Old Market is an especially special place that offers historic beauty. Old buildings are active, serving to meet the needs of both residential and business tenants. Horse drawn carriage and pedal-powered party cars infuse the city with an energy that enlivens tourism and group outings. Old and young, locals, travelers and tourists trek along the cobblestone streets all hours of the day, each season bringing something new, from farmer's market to lit rows of warm, lit Christmas trees.
Find your way to the old city to find art, restaurants, coffee, and independent stores that leave chain stores at the "border". Enjoy multiple historic neighborhoods and green spaces throughout this well-kept secret of a heartland city.
