Set on the banks of the Missouri River, the city of Omaha and the largest city in Nebraska not only packs a punch when it comes to beautiful scenery, historic sites and an array of attractions and activities to enjoy. I also found a fantastic selection of coffee shops, cafés and independent coffee hangouts to get a caffeine fix.
