See the Old Market Through a Tourist’s Eyes

November 6, 2025

When was the last time you wandered the Old Market like a visitor, seeing it the way someone new to Omaha might?

Start at the twinkle-lit Passageway between 11th and 12th streets and take a selfie in front of the brick walls and hanging plants. Step into the quiet Garden of the Zodiac courtyard for a moment of reflection, then grab a cone at Ted & Wally’s and revel in the sounds of street musicians.

Browse the shelves at Jackson Street Booksellers, play a few rounds of pinball at Hollywood Candy or ride a horse-drawn carriage down the cobblestones. Before heading home, stop by the Omaha Visitors Center at 10th and Farnam and say hello. Head to VisitOmaha.com for more ideas on how to enjoy your city like a visitor.
