Omaha — 3 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.
Get a sense of the local culture at The Durham Museum and Old Market. And it doesn't end there: admire the masterpieces at Joslyn Art Museum, look for gifts at Old Market Candy Shop, have fun and explore at Omaha Children's Museum, and take in the views from Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge.

To see reviews, other places to visit, more things to do, and more tourist information, read Omaha vacation planning site.

Accra, Ghana to Omaha is an approximately 24-hour flight. Due to the time zone difference, you'll gain 6 hours traveling from Accra to Omaha. In April, Omaha is much colder than Accra - with highs of 19°C and lows of 5°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 8th (Sat) early enough to drive to Kearney.

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.
