Omaha — 2 nights

Gateway to the West

A major transportation hub, Omaha was once considered little more than a stopping point on a pioneer's journey west.
Omaha is known for zoos & aquariums, shopping, and parks. Your trip includes some of its best attractions: snap pictures at Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge, take an in-depth tour of The Durham Museum, wander the streets of Old Market, and look for gifts at Old Market Candy Shop.

For other places to visit, more things to do, where to stay, and other tourist information, read our Omaha tour builder app.

Durham to Omaha is an approximately 5.5-hour flight. You can also drive; or take a bus. You'll gain 1 hour traveling from Durham to Omaha due to the time zone difference. Expect a daytime high around 85°F in June, and nighttime lows around 64°F. Cap off your sightseeing on the 7th (Wed) early enough to go by car to Lincoln.

The Cornhusker State
Situated in the heartland of America, Nebraska is home to a large number of small rural communities and masses of farmland. The state's two main cities, Omaha and Lincoln, are abuzz with youthful energy and cultural delights. Your itinerary can include a trip to the cities' museums to learn about the state's past, or tours of the area's important pioneer and Native American sites. The state's central location means that it has been crossed by many trails, but it was the California Gold Rush of 1848-1855 that originally brought large numbers of non-indigenous people to the area. Scenic river valleys offer plenty of opportunities for outdoor vacation activities, while Nebraska's agricultural towns charm visitors with their all-American spirit.
