Your Omaha guide.
I cover the nitty gritty details: parking, bus routes, accessibility, what to expect when you walk in the door. So you can feel more confident exploring Omaha (and beyond).
Before you visit a new place, do you scope it out online?
Like . . . a lot?
Yeah, me too. I'm Emily, and I created the Omaha Guidebook cause I get it. Sometimes just the idea of going somewhere new feels overwhelming. Where do I park? How do I get in? What if I get there and don't know what to do?
So I do the research for you. I cover where to park, how to get there on the bus, and what to expect when you walk in. Straightforward info to help you navigate Omaha with ease.

Why Omaha Guidebook is different.
When you don't know what to expect, it's harder to convince yourself to go. I give you the details that actually matter and take the unknown out of going somewhere new.
Parking
Exactly where to park, whether it's street parking or a lot, if it's free or paid, and how to find it. No more circling the block.
Accessibility
Are there steps? Is there an elevator or ramp? Can you navigate the space with mobility aids? I tell you what to expect.
Transit
Which Metro bus routes stop nearby and where the stops are located. Cause not everyone drives, and that shouldn't keep you from going places.
The details
Dietary accommodations, what the atmosphere is like, where to find the bathrooms, and any other info that'll help you feel prepared.
