Omaha, Nebraska
One of the most underrated destinations in the
U.S., Omaha has big-city vibes with small-town
charm. Located on the Missouri River near the Iowa border,
Omaha is a stop on the Lewis & Clark National Historic Trail,
so you'll find lots of history in the city. Make sure to stroll
Pioneer Courage Park, an urban public art park with more
than 100 larger-than-life bronze sculptures stampeding six
blocks through downtown Omaha and telling the story of the
westward journey of early pioneers. Kenefick Park is another
must-visit for those interested in early American history, and
the Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium and Durham Museum
are also popular among visitors. However, no visit to Omaha
is complete without fraternizing with Bob, Omaha's unofficial
mascot—a 3,000-foot pedestrian bridge with personality (and a
blue troll).
