Omaha is a compact, livable Midwest city that’s easy to navigate and great for multi‑week stays — affordable neighborhoods, a walkable Old Market, riverfront trails, craft breweries, and friendly coffee shops make downtime enjoyable. Culture and entertainment are plentiful, from the world‑class Henry Doorly Zoo to Joslyn Art Museum, live music, and college sports, so you’ll have plenty to do after shifts.
Nearby options include Council Bluffs just across the river for parks and nightlife, and Lincoln (~55 miles) for a bigger college‑town scene and extra dining/concert choices.
