Nebraska Travel Guide

The great plains state, Nebraska is one of the country's leading farm states. Split through the middle by two different time zones, visitors might want to keep an eye on when the clock is in either Central or Mountain time. As the slogan goes, Nebraska is “where the west begins”, that being the case, this state has hundreds of little towns that are sparsely populated. Most think of Nebraska as being a flat and scenically deprived state, however, it is geologically fascinating. Three main rivers crisscross the state; the Platte River, Niobrara and Republican rivers flow freely through subtle hills and grassy plains. It also has a variety of historic trails such as the Lewis and Clark trail, as well as Pine Ridge, the infamous Sand Hills, Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historic Park. Visitors may travel to Nebraska to watch bird migrations as they sweep through the country side overwhelming the skies, or to visit one of the many higher education institutions.

The state capital, Lincoln, is also the second largest city in Nebraska at only 240,000 people. Lincoln remains the center of the state's government and higher education facilities. Despite it's large size, this city prides itself on maintaining a “small-town” feel and on its collection of art and history museums. Visitors to Lincoln will find suitable lodging and hotel accommodations throughout the town.

The state's transportation hub and largest city, Omaha, is rich in culture; featuring both visual and performing arts centers as well as a variety of historic sites. With its lofty skyscrapers and metropolitan neighborhoods, Omaha is a great destination for business folk and families. Nearby music, sports, and film facilities make it a fun Nebraska stop. Omaha has a great variety of lodgings including hotels, budget priced motels and inns sprinkled throughout the city.
