Geografía

Lincoln es una de las pocas ciudades grandes de Nebraska que no se encuentran a lo largo del río Platte o del río Misuri. La ciudad fue originalmente diseñada cerca de Salt Creek y entre los llanos humedales salinos del norte del condado de Lancaster. El crecimiento de la ciudad en los últimos años ha llevado al desarrollo de las tierras circundantes, muchas de los cuales están compuestas por suaves colinas. En los últimos años, el crecimiento de Lincoln hacia el norte ha invadido el hábitat de los escarabajos tigre de Salt Creek, en peligro de extinción.

We've selected some of the best experiences Lincoln provides. Take a look at our picks for the top things to do in Lincoln.

See, Speed, Learn

Lincoln hosts an array of museums for all interests, from the Roller Skate Museum to the Lester F. Larsen Tractor Test & Power Museum.

For a hot rod haven, head over to the Museum American Speed, an automotive museum that exhibits historical automotive pieces.

Nightlife

Although Lincoln is a college town, the capital has no shortage of nightlife for adults of all walks of life. Most notable is downtown’s Zoo Bar, a blues bar that has caught the likes of Buddy Guy and Otis Rush and hosts a music festival on the streets of downtown Lincoln during the summer.

Cheer on the Cornhuskers

Lincoln is host to the flagship campus of the University of Nebraska, which means access to amenities like the University of Nebraska State Museum and, of course, the Cornhuskers Division I teams. The Cornhuskers football team dukes it out with Big Ten teams in the Memorial Stadium, a state-of-the-art facility that seats more than 85,000 fans. Other highlights include the women’s and men’s basketball teams shooting hoops at the Pinnacle Bank Arena, and the Huskers baseball and softball teams hitting home runs at the Hawks Field at Haymarket Park.

See Sunken Gardens

A Lincoln landmark since 1930, Lincoln’s Sunken Gardens is one of Lincoln’s most visited parks. The scenic stretch on 27th Street hosts an array of flowers plotted with lily ponds and picturesque landscape, and is often claimed to be one of the best spots for a summer stroll. The park also involves the community with donations, memorials and a spring “wake,” in which flowers are planted.

Bond and Bike

10 Top-Rated Tourist Attractions in Lincoln, Nebraska

Written by Lana Law

As the capital of Nebraska, Lincoln is home to a wealth of museums and cultural attractions, but it is also a university city with an active and vibrant atmosphere. Visitors will find no shortage of things to do, regardless of their interests. In the city center is the Historic Haymarket District, an interesting area with shops, galleries, and restaurants, popular with both locals and tourists. The area around the capitol building has a number of important sites, including the Governor's Residence. On the University of Nebraska campus, conveniently located in the heart of the city, are the Sheldon Museum of Art and the University of Nebraska State Museum. Outside the city center, but still within easy driving distance, some unique attractions are worth checking out, from the Speed Museum to the Quilt Museum.

1 Historic Haymarket District

The Historic Haymarket District is a wonderful place to stroll around, grab a bite to eat, or just people watch. The area is compact and consists of beautifully renovated and restored late 19th-century brick warehouses, brick streets, a large water tower, and a unique clock. The Haymarket District has a lively vibe, as the University of Nebraska is nearby and the students frequent the many establishments packed into this small area. The most notable building is the Lincoln station. Once a railway depot, today it houses the visitor center and a restaurant. In the summer, the streets are frequently closed off for festivals and farmers markets.

Location: 7th and P Streets, Lincoln

2 Nebraska State Capitol

It took three tries for Nebraska to construct a capitol building that would last. The building today, the third one on this site, is unique in respect to other state capitols. It doesn't have the traditional dome, but instead, it incorporates a 400-foot tower containing offices. The cost of the building was 10 million dollars and construction took 10 years, starting in 1922. The Nebraska State Capitol is well worth a visit for its limestone exterior depicting 3,000 years of democracy through carvings, and its ornate interior of marble columns, mosaic floors, and murals. The figure on the very top is a 19-foot-tall bronze figure of The Sower.

In the Annual Garden, more than 30,000 plants are used each year to create new designs and themes. The gardens are relatively small, covering less than two acres, so they can be easily toured by almost anyone.
