Seventy Stops State-wide: 2026 Nebraska Passport Destinations Announced

LINCOLN, Neb. – Visit Nebraska is thrilled to announce the stops included in the 2026 Nebraska Passport program. The Passport helps Nebraskans and out-of-state visitors alike discover the state’s hidden gems while supporting tourism destinations and local businesses.

“The Nebraska Passport is our signature in-state marketing program, and it’s one of the most fun things we do all year,” said Jenn Gjerde, executive director of Visit Nebraska. “It’s designed specifically to encourage Nebraskans to explore their own backyard, to take a day trip, try somewhere new and support the small businesses and communities that make this state special.”

According to Gjerde, last year travelers logged more than 147,000 digital stamps, representing real foot traffic in local shops, restaurants and attractions across Nebraska.

The 2026 Passport features 70 stops divided into 10 themed tours. Travelers will have from May 1 to September 30 to visit the attractions and collect stamps to earn prizes.

This year’s themed tours include a tribute to historical stops in honor of America’s 250th, adventurous outdoor stops to get the whole family moving, businesses located in Nebraska’s picturesque downtowns and, of course, plenty of unique spots for food and drink.

Local Passport Stops include The Market and Mill in Anselmo and Howdy Coffee Co. in Broken Bow. For a short trip, additional stops can be found in North Platte, Lexington, Kearney, and Grand Island.

Passport booklets will be available at participating stops starting May 1 or can be pre-ordered at NebraskaPassport.com. Participants are encouraged to download the Nebraska Passport App on their smartphone for the option of digital stamps, supplementing the physical Passport booklet for convenience. Those who used the mobile app in previous years will need to update the app on May 1 to see the new program information.
