Old Market
Trip Ideas
Feel the pulse of the city within Omaha’s historic Old Market (www.oldmarket.com), a shopping, dining, and entertainment district bounded by Farnam to the north, 10th Street to the east, 13th Street to the west, and Leavenworth Road to the south.
Formerly the city’s vibrant wholesale district, the light industrial and warehouse buildings have since been renovated into a diverse mix of boutiques, restaurants, and bars connected by charming brick-paved streets.
Explore the Old Market in a horse-drawn carriage, or let your feet lead you through the quaint streets often filled with street performers and impromptu music concerts. Historic building facades combined with lush landscaping, including rooftop flower boxes that line most of Old Market’s spaces, make the area ripe with photo opportunities.
Be sure to seek out the Old Market passageway, a covered thoroughfare that offers a different—and photogenic—view of several Old Market shops and restaurants.
