Here’s your guide to parking in The Capitol District.

One thing to keep in mind is there are multiple big event venues right next to this area, so when events are happening, parking is of course going to be busier. If you want to avoid that traffic, I’d recommend checking event schedules for CHI Health Center, Steelhouse Omaha, the Holland Center, and Charles Schwab Field and plan your visit around that.

Thanks a bunch to The Capitol District for sponsoring this post!

🚙 Street Parking
There’s metered street parking throughout this area. I usually check 11th or 12th Streets first for available spots. (Plus see my tip in the video to find some lesser known spots with rates that are a bit cheaper!)

When big events are happening in the area, the meter rates are higher. But remember the meters are free on Sundays (except during major events) and city holidays!

🏢 Parking Garage
Route to Marriott/Capitol District Parking Garage. The entrance is on 12th Street and there’s a skywalk on level 4 from the garage directly into the Capitol District courtyard.

🔑 Valet Parking
The Marriott Downtown has valet parking at its entrance.

🚌 Metro Bus
And last, there are multiple bus stops right along the main strip

Routes 93, 94, 97, 106, 120: Capitol Ave & 12th NE
Route 106: 10th & Capitol Ave NE
Routes 11, 93, 94, 97, 120, ORBT: Dodge & 12th NE (a block south)

Here’s your guide for things to do in The Capitol District .

This district in downtown Omaha is home to a variety of restaurants and bars, plus it’s within walking distance to multiple performance venues! It’s a great spot for a night out or to catch a bite to eat before catching a show down the street. Don’t forget to check out the courtyard in the middle while you’re there.

See my next post for a guide to parking in The Capitol District!

Limited on time? Hit some of the highlights and visit my favorites in this area: Jewell on Capitol, Texas de Brazil, The Brunch Box.
