This WorldWeb.com travel and tourism guide for Lincoln, featuring hotels and other accommodations, tours, attractions, events, shopping and more, will help you plan a successful visit to Lincoln, Nebraska, U.S.A.

Named after the popular former president Abraham Lincoln, Nebraska's capital city bears many places of importance. The State Capitol building dominates the area between 14th and 16th streets and H and K streets; the central tower, a fine example of modern architecture, rises to 400 feet in height with a bronze statue called The Sower atop. Tours of the capitol building are offered regularly. The Lincoln campus of the University of Nebraska is overcome each fall by the enthusiasm of Cornhuskers football fans—every game since November of 1962 has been a sellout. When visiting Lincoln be sure to stop downtown at the Historic Haymarket District, an expansive shopping, dining and entertainment area. Other attractions of interest in Lincoln include the National Museum of Roller Skating and the Folsom Children's Zoo and Botanical Gardens.
