I’m really excited to interview Allea Grummert of Duett.co about Lincoln, Nebraska. Allea’s tips for the best things to do in Lincoln are awesome because she grew up nearby and moved to Lincoln 16 years ago for college. She stayed for the community and how it feels like a “big small town.”

Getting around Lincoln
The local airport is Lincoln Airport (LNK), which is about a ten-minute drive into the city. Allea says not all airlines fly into Lincoln, so your other option is to fly into Omaha’s Eppley Airfield (OMA) and then make the hour’s drive to Lincoln. Use our Expedia tool below to find flight, hotel, and rental car options.
Allea says that you’ll need to rent a car if you want to explore beyond the downtown area. For the best rental car offers, visit Avis, Budget, or Hertz.
StarTran is the local public transportation, which is great for getting around the city center. It’s $1.25 per ride or $2.50 for a day pass, and the Downtown Trolley is only $0.25. Uber and Lyft are excellent ways to get around.
When you only need a car for a couple of hours, you can rent by the hour with Zipcar. Join now to get $25 loaded into your account.

Who is Allea Grummert?
Allea Grummert is a copywriter and email marketing automation expert for online businesses. She’s based out of Lincoln, Nebraska, and has lived there for 16 years. A Nebraska native (from a town of 118 people!), she’s considered fleeing to “cooler” places over the years but has stayed put because Lincoln offers a thriving community, music scene, and a “big, small-town” feel you can’t get just anywhere.
