New Orleans Attractions

New Orleans is known for its stunning architecture, including Creole cottages, French Quarter townhouses, and graceful Garden District mansions. You can also experience this fascinating culture by visiting its many museums, including the Cabildo, a National Historic Landmark where the Louisiana Purchase was signed, and the U.S Mint Jazz Museum, where you can see Louis Armstrong's first horn.

Wander down the French Quarter, and fall in love with a unique neighborhood of gracious homes, artists' studios, shops, restaurants, and cafes. Here you'll find the famous landmark, Jackson Square, known for its sidewalk artists and the French Market with its quaint fruit and vegetable stands. Allow the music of New Orleans to touch your soul, from intimate jazz clubs, to concerts at the Historic Preservation Hall, or an impromptu blues riff on the street. For those who love to shop, there is a mixture of galleries, antique stores, and curiosity shops to whet every appetite and tickle every pocketbook. And, if you are brave enough, explore the famous aboveground cemeteries, which have been nicknamed "cities of the dead."

Transportation to these fascinating places is very simple! New Orleans is easy to navigate whether you are walking or driving. The city is also readily accessible by cabs, buses, and its historic streetcars.
