Lincoln
Nebraska is more than cornfields and sprawling prairies.

The Haymarket District near downtown’s western edge was an open-air cattle and hay market in the late 1800s. Today, it’s a hub for funky galleries, specialty shops, and trendy cafes. Friday art walks and the Saturday farmers market are popular activities among locals.For outdoor enthusiasts, Lincoln also boasts more than 130 miles of trails. The MoPac—a converted, 27-mile rail track—winds from the university to Omaha.Lincoln is also home to the 25,000 students that attend the University of Nebraska. The main campus is in the middle of town, and the school’s Memorial Stadium attracts large crowds of football fans adorned in red Cornhuskers gear during the fall.
