Getting there and around
Omaha is served by Eppley Airfield (OMA), located about three miles northeast of downtown. The airport has direct flights to many major U.S. cities. From the airport, taxis, ride-share services, and rental cars are available; public buses also connect to downtown. By car, Omaha is reached via Interstate 80 from the east and west, and Interstate 29 from the north and south. Amtrak's California Zephyr stops at the Omaha station, though service is once daily in each direction. Getting around Omaha is easiest by car, as the city is spread out and public transit is limited. Downtown and the Old Market are walkable, and a network of trails along the Missouri River is popular for walking and cycling.
When to go
The best times to visit Omaha are spring (April to May) and fall (September to October), when temperatures are mild and outdoor activities are comfortable. Summers can be hot and humid, with highs often in the upper 80s to low 90s Fahrenheit, while winters are cold, with occasional snow and temperatures below freezing.
