First-time visitors to Omaha will be best situated in the Old Market District which is defined as the heart and soul of the city. While the historic architecture and sculptures from the Spirit of Nebraska's Wilderness and Pioneer Courage Park immerse you in the city’s history and culture, the shops, bars, and galleries immerse you in its fresh and fun atmosphere.
Those who prefer modern and trendy over old and urban might consider staying in the Capitol District. Slightly more upscale than Old market, it is home to some of the city’s fanciest hotels, bars, and restaurants. Situated between Downtown Omaha and the Riverfront, it provides the perfect balance between the bustling city and the quiet outdoors.
For easy access to all of the city’s best sports events, stay Downtown or around the university district, Jefferson Square. Many of the major Creighton University sports stadiums are nearby including the Charles Schwab Field and Michael G Morrison Stadium. Located immediately north of Old Market, it’s an easy ride to the shops and bars.
