Old Market

Omaha preserves its historic place in time in this historic section of town where visitors can stroll along the cobbled streets and explore the many preserved buildings.

Reviewed By BoloBunch - Jacksonville, United States

This quaint old factory town with cobblestone streets, horse carriages, and cinderella rides, has some fun and delicious restaurants packed in the renovated factory buildings. Extremely walkable area for all restaurants in Old Market. On nice weather days/nights, the many outdoor terraces are chock full of people enjoying their time outside. There's a famous bar bike called The Patio Ride which meanders (lively) through the streets of Old Market. With the many parks and trails around the Old Market, walking it off never seemed so good. From microbrew beer to consignment stores to interesting shops, restaurants aren't the only thing that dot Old Market. Its a pretty cool place and one that pleasantly surprises most visitors.

St. Cecilia's Cathedral

Guided tours are available through this Spanish Renaissance-style cathedral, which contains stained-glass windows from the 16th century.

Reviewed By KameradOwO - Sheridan, United States

The museum and gift shop was lovely, and the lady working it was very genuine and kind. Unfortunately the cathedral had a wake happening when I visited so I didn’t go past the first set of pews.

I had a tour group there for the tour of the campus and we loved it. Father Flanagans home and the history building are so interesting. The church is beautiful as well. Our guide Pam did a wonderful job telling us about the history, present and future plans for Boys Town.
